Nope.  Cygwin doesn't use glibc, so 'info libc' fails to turn up anything
at all.  Do you have a preferred way to skip this test on non-Linux
platforms, since glibc's info manual is unlikely to appear on any other
system?

Indeed, this approach worked for me.  Is it worth trying to combine the
two sed invocations into one, or should I just go ahead and commit with
this style?
