The presumption is that all info manuals live in a single namespace. The
appropriate fix is, for each manual that isn't part of GCC, to have a
redirect in .htaccess from the URL on gcc.gnu.org to an online copy of the
current manual - which however needs to be one generated by makeinfo
--html with split output, not one generated by texi2html. (Perhaps
www.gnu.org needs to start adding such versions of the manuals there.)
