That might have happened by a texinfo update?

As far as I know the onlinedocs are generated by the gdbadmin
through the /home/gdbadmin/ss/update-web-docs script.
See the /home/gdbadmin/ss/update-web-docs/HOWTO

I think this script would be responsible for creating a symlink or
redirect.

I just don't know what the official procedure is for updating that
script or how it is run (through a cronjob?)

Joel do you know?

Cheers,

Mark
