Here’s what I’d put in the commit log:

  As discussed at
  <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2013-12/msg00015.html>
  standards.texi is maintained elsewhere and has no reason to be
  installed alongside Binutils or GDB.

  configure.texi is partly outdated, partly redundant with
  standards.texi, and would belong in Autoconf more than in
  GDB/Binutils.

HTH,
Ludo’.
