Is egcs-g77 different to any other official RedHat package, though?
It does install the info dir entry.

If you do, use the current texi2html from ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex. It
was hacked to cope with recent Texinfo features used by the g77
manual. Personally, I'd prefer somehow to get people reading what
they have locally (even though the Network was the Computer long
before it was a trademark).
BTW, I think the g77 doc needs a going over before egcs 1.1 to fix
stuff pertaining to the g77+gcc-2.8 incarnation.
