The problem is two-fold:
* The link (see GCJNAV in style.mhtml) is to the old file name mail.html,
which has been removed - java/mail.html now redirects to the toplevel
lists.html. The fix in style.mhtml is trivial, but I don't know whether
anything special would need to be done to cause all relevant pages to be
regenerated after a new style.mhtml is checked in or whether that happens
automatically.
* The .htaccess files on gcc.gnu.org would need rewriting when used on
www.gnu.org to allow for the /software/gcc prefix on the old file name
being redirected.
