You 're right - I was already using openSUSE patches to get it easily
working on OBS.  E.g. kill(1) is there coming from a separate package,
and the patch removes all traces of it including from the *.texi file.
Thus the rebuild with makeinfo.
Sorry for the confusion.

And yes, with Assaf's patch it works again, thanks.

Have a nice day,
