------- Comment #5 from steven at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-12-08 20:20 -------
Joseph Myers introduced this in the manual with the following patch:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2002-01/msg00726.html
So this is a regression.
Ah, and Joseph also explained how to fix this, see comment #2. So this should
be fixed in the blink of an eye then, no?

As I explained in 2003, this is a web problem, not a source code bug, and so
not a regression. It is a new feature of the manual such that each user of the
manual may need to do something to take advantage of the new feature, and that
applies to the onlinedocs on gcc.gnu.org just as it does to any user of "make
install-html".

Well, I can't even find this paragraph you want to reference.
And I was under the impression that there was a kind-of "you broke it, you fix
it rule" with GCC bugs. Am I wrong or does this just not apply to you?

The reference is to a whole manual (etc/configure.texi in the src
repository), not to one paragraph.

There is no such rule beyond the limited reversion rule in develop.html.
As explained, this is a missing website feature, not a GCC bug. The link
in the manual is a correct link in the global namespace for Texinfo
manuals.

Something as simple as this would already fix the broken link.

But it is online - http://www.airs.com/ian/configure/ - and while that's
not a makeinfo --html copy, when it's only linking to the manual as a
whole that doesn't matter much (a single redirect in .htaccess should
suffice - and the fix being such a redirect is why I say this is a web
problem not a manual problem).
I believe the description of how multilibs are built is still relevant,
although no-one has updated that manual to reflect toplevel
autoconfiscation. If the assignment issues were resolved (that manual has
a Cygnus copyright notice) then it might make sense to move the multilib
documentation into the GCC documentation and remove the reference to this
old manual.
