This patch removes @hsep and @vsep from the stdio info file so that newer version of texinfo can generate documentation properly

@hsep and @vsep were removed from newer versions of texinfo. The eglibc package can't be generated properly on platforms that ship with texinfo >= 5.1, such as Ubuntu 13.10

Would you like to submit this patch directly to the 
openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org?  If you do, it does not need the PR 
Bump for master.

Thanks

I just noticed that this patch is already included in "danny". I'm using Angstrom and it seems neither its danny branch nor angstrom-staging-yocto1.3 are up to date. I'll submit a pull request on the Angstrom repository to fix this.

I'm marking this ticket as RESOLVED, the fix is already in Yocto 1.3
 
Thanks.
