In sections that are talking about C/C++ language issues, we should use
the same terminology as the standards, which means enumeration,
enumerated type, or enumeration constant.
In sections that are talking about GCC internals, we have to use the
same terminology as used in the code, which means things like
ENUMERAL_TYPE. Until such time as we can fix both the source and the
documentation in parallel.

Yes, I agree, these all look safe to fix.
In invoke.texi, I'd suggest replacing enumeral type with enumerated
type.
In md.texi, I'd suggest replacing enumeral class with enumeration.
In tm.texi, I'd suggest replacing enumeral type with enumeration, and
enumeral value(s) with enumeration constant(s).
