Hello.

Is there a reason the pdf version, nor the single file html one is
available for download?
I surely can generate them myself, which I did, probably for the third
time now, but would it be possible to just have them online to save
everyone's time?
Or, if there is a strong reason not to generate pfds, maybe it would
be possible to switch to single-file htmls? The bandwidth is hardly a
problem now, and it is a lot easier to search in a single html file.

You can download the lastest release version of binutils, configure
and build it.  Then at the top level, do a "make pdf".

  I'm sure the only reason is lack of volunteer time to update the scripts
related to the website, not any policy reason.  Other GNU projects have the
manuals available in the various forms you describe; but it's a non-negligible
effort to set it all up.

    cheers,
