Bonuser: two fewer places you have to enumerate actual filenames
(fewer things to deal with manually). --infodir means you omit this:

 # Rename info files with -fsf-4.5 suffix.

and this:

 # Add symlinks for info files under old names.
 infofiles="cpp gcc"
 for infofile in $infofiles ; do
   ln -s %p/share/info/$infofile-fsf-4.5.info %i/share/info/$infofile-4.info
 done
 infofiles="cp-tools cppinternals gccinstall gccint gcj gfortran libgomp"
 for infofile in $infofiles ; do
   ln -s %p/share/info/$infofile-fsf-4.5.info %i/share/info/$infofile.info
 done

becomes something like this:

 # Add symlinks for info files under old location.
 mkdir %i/share/info
 for infofile in `cd %i/lib/gcc4.5/info; ls`; do
   ln -s %p/lib/gcc4.5/info/$infofile %i/share/info/$infofile
 done
