In info node "(elisp)Building Lists", I've found a small error, which
is fixed by the below patch.

Sorry, the previous patch is obviously wrong. This is the right one:

I think I've found another typo in node "(elisp)Sets And Lists":

In the example at hand `elt' is unknown, so that `(setq l (delete elt
l))' has no sense and raises an error.

Hi,
Info node "(elisp)Advising Functions" begins with:
> The "advice" feature lets you add to the existing definition of a
> function, by "advising the function".
Please, correct me if I'm wrong (English is not my first language),
but I think that this sentence is lacking a substantive just after
"lets you add". For example: "... lets you add code to the existing
..."

The current wording seems fine to me. The OED says that "add" can be
used intransitively with "to", in the sense of "making something more
extensive".

Thanks Glenn, noted.
