Found the problem: the node entries in the minpack.texi file were
incomplete and didn't include appropriate links.  I've fixed those and
will land the fix soon.

However, I think build_index.pl should check that the output doesn't
include the default values for the file name and offset.  That would
seem to be an error to me.  I'd fix this myself, but I can barely read
perl, so it would take me quite some time to fix.  This would at least
have caught the issue.
