I've tracked it a bit further:

This is a bug in the "cygwin-doc" package, in the newlibinfo2man.pl
perl script.

157 sub print_footer
158 {
159     $out_handle = $_[0];
160     print { $out_handle } ".SH \"SEE ALSO\"\n";
161         if ((!grep /\Q$node/, @summary_nodes) && ($node ne "Library Index"))
162     {
163         print { $out_handle } ".B $node\n";
164         print { $out_handle } "is part of the\n";
165         print { $out_handle } ".B $title\n";
166         print { $out_handle } "library.\n";
167     }
168     print { $out_handle } "The full documentation for\n";
169     print { $out_handle } ".B $title\n";
170     print { $out_handle } "is maintained as a Texinfo manual.  If \n";
171     print { $out_handle } ".B info\n";
172     print { $out_handle } "and\n";
173     print { $out_handle } ".B $title\n";
174     print { $out_handle } "are properly installed at your site, ";
175     print { $out_handle } "the command\n";
176     print { $out_handle } ".IP\n";
177     print { $out_handle } ".B info $title\n";
178     print { $out_handle } ".PP\n";
179     print { $out_handle } "will give you access to the complete manual.\n";
180     print "finished $node of $title\n" if ($debug);
181     close ($out_handle);
182 }

$title is undefined because it is declared "my" in the loop iterating
over @ARGV calling print_footer. Can someone with more cygwin|src|build-fu
fix this? Thanks!

Regards,
