msp430-binutils fails to build

Description

I want to install msp430-gcc and friends, but msp430-binutils fails to build (this is MacPorts 2.3.4 on OSX 10.11.3, if that matters). In the logfile, I believe the relevant error messages are these:

:info:build /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_cross_msp430-binutils/msp430-binutils/work/binutils-2.21.1/bfd/doc/msp430-bfd.texinfo:325: unknown command `colophon'
:info:build /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_cross_msp430-binutils/msp430-binutils/work/binutils-2.21.1/bfd/doc/msp430-bfd.texinfo:336: unknown command `cygnus'

The problem looks due to a bug in binutils which was fixed in version 2.23, cf https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15183 thus the issue should be quite straightforward to fix in macports, but I don't have the skill to do so.

Any help would be warmly welcome

In the future, please Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers msp430-binutils), if any.

Want to point out that it's the same for all crossbinutils ports, obviously, for example i386-elf-binutils and x86_64-elf-binutils (which BTW have different maintainers, but I can't add them to cc). I worked around it by adding the following lines to Portfile:

build.args "MAKEINFO=/usr/bin/makeinfo"
destroot.args "MAKEINFO=/usr/bin/makeinfo"

But of course updating the version is a much better fix;)

binutils-2.23.1 doesn't contain the fix for this issue, checked 2.26 - it does and builds fine.
