Jeff, I've finally looked at these.  *Really* nice.  Two things:

  1.  g77_bugs.html grabs the entire "Known Causes Of Trouble..."
      section of the manual, which is pretty big.  I think this is
      good, at least theoretically, but...

  2.  Chasing a link, even to a node in the currently open page,
      can sometimes cause the entire page to be re-read.  (E.g.
      this happens starting with g77_bugs.html and chasing "But-Bugs"
      in the first menu.  At least for me, using lynx.)

Not sure what to suggest, except *possibly*, for the near term,
a specific link to the "Actual Bugs" section, which derives from
news.texi, might be useful...e.g. g77_actualbugs.html, in its
own menu under g77_bugs.html, if possible.

I'm planning on adding links to these resources (g77_toc.html,
g77_bugs.html, and g77_news.html) to g77's documentation for egcs 1.2
*and*, unless you say otherwise, for egcs 1.1.2.

But I won't get to it before 11pm tonite at the earliest, and perhaps
not until tomorrow or Thursday.  (This is going to be a busy week for me,
for reasons unrelated to egcs.)

        tq vm, (burley)
