We had a discussion about this some time in the past, and I promised to 
try this.

Well, I did.  TeX happily processed both libc.tex and libm.texinfo.  The
libc docs generated a large number of overfull box warnings, mostly due to
the synopsis lines with those long __dpmi_bla_bla_yak_yak names.  I ran
`find' that replaced all of the @example into @smallexample, which caused
some of the warning to go away; but others stayed. 

Libm.texinfo, on the other hand, didn't produce even a single warning.

Clearly, if we want to be able to produce printed docs, the .txh files 
need some more work.  If somebody volunteers, I can mail the libc.log 
file produced by TeX.

For the record: libc.dvi produces a 490-page long printed version (no, I 
didn't actually send it to the printer ;-).
