I think you don't see this because your glibc version is not recent
enough. On a Debian GNU/Linux box that identifies itself as
Linux pot.isti.cnr.it 2.4.24 #1 Mon Jan 26 15:20:26 CET 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
I found a glibc manual whose preamble says
This is Edition 0.10, last updated 2001-07-06, of `The GNU C Library
Reference Manual', for Version 2.3.x of the GNU C Library.
That manual comes with a file `libc-dir-add.info.gz' which contains an
INFO-DIR-ENTRY which looks like below, and it is copied into the DIR
file. Maybe it's a Debian thing, not something that comes with a
glibc distribution, I don't know (didn't have time to fetch a tarball
and look there).
