No need; AFAICS this has already been fixed upstream in the 2.24 
snapshots[1].  If you need to build 2.23.x or earlier, you will need 
some or all of these patches:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/binutils.git/plain/binutils-2.23.2-bfd-texinfo-fixes.patch?h=f20
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/binutils.git/plain/binutils-2.23.2-ld-texinfo-fixes.patch?h=f20
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/binutils.git/plain/binutils-2.23.52.0.1-as-doc-texinfo-fixes.patch?h=f20

HTH,
