I'm unaware of a specification of a minimum makeinfo version that's
required for building binutils, yet my admittedly ancient makeinfo
4.12 chokes on this. I also don't think the introduction of this new
(unconditional?) prereq to libbfd warrants the introduction of such
a baseline requirement.

I'll also commit a build fix to gas/gen-sframe.c later, to deal with
older build systems (glibc + gcc).

You're right. xrefautomaticsectiontitle appears in texinfo 5.0, hence 
the breakage... I will remove the usage of it from sframe-spec.texi, it 
is not an absolutely needed enhancement.

Thanks for that patch.

there is no min version required to build binutils, although there are
min versions to build its documentation.

+@top The SFrame format
+
+This manual describes version 1 of the SFrame file format.  SFrame stands for
+Simple Frame format.  SFrame format keeps track of the minimal necessary
+information needed for stack unwinding:
+
+@itemize @minus
+@item
+Canonical Frame Address (CFA).
+@item
+Frame Pointer (FP).
+@item
+Return Address (RA).
+@end itemize
+
+The reason for existence of the SFrame format is to support fast, online
+backtracing using a simple unwinder.

+@node Overview

+@cindex Overview
+@tindex PT_GNU_SFRAME
+
+The SFrame unwind information is provided in a loaded section, known as the
+@code{.sframe} section.  When available, the @code{.sframe} section appears in
+a new segment of its own, PT_GNU_SFRAME.
+
+The SFrame format is currently supported only for select ABIs, namely, AMD64
+and AAPCS64.
+
+The contents of the SFrame section are stored in the target endianness, i.e.,
+in the endianness of the system on which the section is targetted to be used.
+An SFrame section reader may use the magic number in the SFrame header to
+identify the endianness of the SFrame section.
+
+Addresses in this specification are expressed in bytes.
+
+The associated API to decode, probe and encode the SFrame section, provided via
+@code{libsframe}, is not accompanied here at this time.  This will be added
+later.
+
+This document is intended to be in sync with the C code in @file{sframe.h}.
+Please report descrepancies between the two, if any.

+
+The SFrame section consists of an SFrame header, starting with a preamble, and
+two other sub-sections, namely the SFrame Function Descriptor Entry (SFrame
+FDE) sub-section, and the SFrame Frame Row Entry (SFrame FRE) sub-section.

+@subsection SFrame endianness
+
+@cindex endianness
+SFrame sections are stored in the target endianness of the system that consumes
+them.  The SFrame library (@code{libsframe}) can, however, detect whether to
+endian-flip an SFrame section at decode time, by inspecting the
+@code{sfp_magic} field in the SFrame header (If it appears as 0xe2de,
+endian-flipping is needed).
+
+@node SFrame version
+@subsection SFrame version
+
+The version of the SFrame format can be determined by inspecting
+@code{sfp_version}.  The following versions are currently valid:
+
+@tindex SFRAME_VERSION_1
+@cindex SFrame versions
+@multitable {SFRAME_VERSION_1} {Number} {First version, under development.}
+@headitem Version @tab Number @tab Description
+@item @code{SFRAME_VERSION_1}
+@tab 1 @tab First version, under development.
+@end multitable
+
+This section documents @code{SFRAME_VERSION_1}.

+@node SFrame flags
+@subsection SFrame flags
+@cindex SFrame flags
+@comment @vindex sfp_flags
+@comment @vindex SFrame section-wide flags
+@comment @subsection SFrame section-wide flags
+
+The preamble contains bitflags in its @code{sfp_flags} field that
+describe various section-wide properties.
+
+The following flags are currently defined.
+
+@multitable {@code{SFRAME_F_FRAME_POINTER}} {Versions} {Value} {Function Descriptor Entries}
+@headitem Flag @tab Versions @tab Value @tab Meaning
+@tindex SFRAME_F_FDE_SORTED

+@tindex SFRAME_F_FRAME_POINTER
+@item @code{SFRAME_F_FRAME_POINTER} @tab All @tab 0x2
+@tab Functions preserve frame-pointer.
+@end multitable
+
+Further flags may be added in future.
+
+@node SFrame Header
+@section SFrame Header
+@cindex SFrame header
+
+The SFrame header is the first part of an SFrame section.  It begins with the
+SFrame preamble.  All parts of it other than the preamble
+(@pxref{SFrame Preamble}) can vary between SFrame file versions.  It contains
+things that apply to the section as a whole, and offsets to the various other
+sub-sections defined in the format.  As with the rest of the SFrame section,
+all values are stored in the endianness of the target system.
+
+The two sub-sections tile the SFrame section: each section runs from the offset
+given until the start of the next section.  An explicit length is given for the
+last sub-section, the SFrame Frame Row Entry (SFrame FRE) sub-section.
+
+@example
+typedef struct sframe_header
+@{
+  sframe_preamble sfh_preamble;
+  uint8_t sfh_abi_arch;
+  int8_t sfh_cfa_fixed_fp_offset;
+  int8_t sfh_cfa_fixed_ra_offset;
+  uint8_t sfh_auxhdr_len;
+  uint32_t sfh_num_fdes;
+  uint32_t sfh_num_fres;
+  uint32_t sfh_fre_len;
+  uint32_t sfh_fdeoff;
+  uint32_t sfh_freoff;
+@} ATTRIBUTE_PACKED sframe_header;
+@end example
+
+The sub-section offsets, namely @code{sfh_fdeoff} and @code{sfh_freoff}, in the
+SFrame header are relative to the @emph{end} of the SFrame header; they are
+each an offset in bytes into the SFrame section where the SFrame FDE
+sub-section and the SFrame FRE sub-section respectively start.
+
+SFrame header allows specifying explicitly the fixed offsets from CFA, if any,
+from which FP or RA may be recovered.  For example, in AMD64, the stack offset
+of the return address is @code{CFA - 8}.  Since this offset is in close
+vicinity with the CFA in most ABIs, @code{sfh_cfa_fixed_fp_offset} and
+@code{sfh_cfa_fixed_ra_offset} are limited to signed 8-bit integers.
+
+SFrame format has provisioned for future ABIs/architectures that it may
+support.  The @code{sframe_header} structure provides an unsigned 8-bit
+integral field to denote the size of an auxilliary SFrame header.  The
+auxilliary SFrame header follows right after the @code{sframe_header}
+structure.  As for the offset calculations, the @emph{end} of SFrame header
+must be the end of the auxilliary SFrame header, if the latter is present.
+
+Tieing it all together:
+
+@multitable {Offset} {@code{int8_t sfh_cfa_fixed_fp_offset}} {The ABI/arch identifier. See above}
+@headitem Offset @tab Name @tab Description
+@item 0x00
+@tab @code{sframe_preamble sfh_preamble}
+@tab The SFrame preamble. @xref{SFrame Preamble}.

+The SFrame Function Descriptor Entry sub-section is a sorted array of

+@tindex SFRAME_FDE_TYPE_PCINC
+
+SFrame format defines two types of FDE entries.  The choice of which SFrame FDE
+type to use is made based on the instruction patterns in the relevant program
+stub.
+
+An SFrame FDE of type @code{SFRAME_FDE_TYPE_PCINC} is an indication that the PCs in the
+FREs should be treated as increments in bytes.  This is used fo the the bulk of
+the executable code of a program, which contains instructions with no specific
+pattern.
+
+In contrast, an SFrame FDE of type @code{SFRAME_FDE_TYPE_PCMASK} is an
+indication that the PCs in the FREs should be treated as masks.  This type is
+useful for the cases where a small pattern of instructions in a program stub is
+used repeatedly for a specific functionality.  Typical usecases are pltN
+entries and trampolines.

+@node The SFrame FRE types
+@subsection The SFrame FRE types
+
+A real world application can have functions of size big and small.  SFrame
+format defines three types of SFrame FRE entries to represent the unwind
+information for such a variety of function sizes.  These representations vary
+in the number of bits needed to encode the start address offset in the SFrame
+FRE.
+
+The following constants are defined and used to identify the SFrame FRE types:
+
+@multitable {SFRAME_FRE_TYPE_ADDR1} {@code{Value}} {The start address offset of FRE is an}
+@headitem Name @tab Value @tab Description
+
+@tindex SFRAME_FRE_TYPE_ADDR1
+@item @code{SFRAME_FRE_TYPE_ADDR1}
+@tab 0
+@tab The start address offset (in bytes) of the SFrame FRE is an unsigned
+8-bit value.
+
+@tindex SFRAME_FRE_TYPE_ADDR2
+@item @code{SFRAME_FRE_TYPE_ADDR2}
+@tab 1
+@tab The start address offset (in bytes) of the SFrame FRE is an unsigned
+16-bit value.
+
+@tindex SFRAME_FRE_TYPE_ADDR4
+@item @code{SFRAME_FRE_TYPE_ADDR4}
+@tab 2
+@tab The start address offset (in bytes) of the SFrame FRE is an unsigned
+32-bit value.
+@end multitable
+
+A single function must use the same type of FRE throughout.  The choice of
+which SFrame FRE is used to encode the unwind information of a function, is
+stored in the @xref{The SFrame FDE info word}.
+
+@node SFrame Frame Row Entries
+@section SFrame FRE
+@cindex SFrame FRE
+
+The SFrame Frame Row Entry sub-section contains the core of the unwind
+information.
+
+An SFrame Frame Row Entry is a self-sufficient record containing SFrame unwind
+info for a range of contiguous addresses, starting at the specified offset from
+the start of the function.  Each SFrame Frame Row Entry is followed by S*N
+bytes, where:
+
+@itemize @minus
+@item
+@code{S} is the size of the stack frame offset for the FRE, and
+@item
+@code{N} is the number of stack frame offsets in the FRE
+@end itemize
+
+The stack offsets, following the FRE, are interpreted in order as follows:
+
+@itemize @minus
+@item
+The first offset is always used to locate the CFA, by interpreting it as:
+CFA = @code{BASE_REG} + offset1.
+@item
+If RA is being tracked, the second offset is always used to locate the RA, by
+interpreting it as: RA = CFA + offset2.  If RA is @emph{not} being tracked
+@emph{and} FP is being tracked, the second offset will be used to locate the
+FP, by interpreting it as: FP = CFA + offset2.
+@item
+If both RA and FP are being tracked, the third offset will be used to locate
+the FP, by interpreting it as FP = CFA + offset3.
+@end itemize
+
+The entities @code{S}, @code{N} and @code{BASE_REG} are identified using the
+SFrame FRE info word, a.k.a. the @code{sframe_fre_info}
+@xref{The SFrame FRE info word}.
+
+Following are the definitions of the allowed SFrame FRE:
+
+@example
+typedef struct sframe_frame_row_entry_addr1
+@{
+  uint8_t sfre_start_address;
+  sframe_fre_info sfre_info;
+@} ATTRIBUTE_PACKED sframe_frame_row_entry_addr1;
+@end example
+
+@example
+typedef struct sframe_frame_row_entry_addr2
+@{
+  uint16_t sfre_start_address;
+  sframe_fre_info sfre_info;
+@} ATTRIBUTE_PACKED sframe_frame_row_entry_addr2;
+@end example
+
+@example
+typedef struct sframe_frame_row_entry_addr4
+@{
+  uint32_t sfre_start_address;
+  sframe_fre_info sfre_info;
+@} ATTRIBUTE_PACKED sframe_frame_row_entry_addr4;
+@end example
+
+@code{sfre_start_address} is an unsigned 8-bit/16-bit/32-bit integral field
+identifies the start address of the range of program counters, for which the
+SFrame FRE applies.  The value encoded in the @code{sfre_start_address} field
+is the offset in bytes of the start address of the SFrame FRE, from the start
+address of the function.
+
+Further FRE types may be added in future.
