OK. You should compile this form:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-06/msg02298.html and send it to assign@gnu.org.
They will send you papers which you need to return signed. When you are done,
get back to us.

In the meantime, if you have time to fetch doc/*.texi from CVS, you can prepare
a proper patch. I can send you a tarball with just the docs (600k) if
downloading is the problem. Otherwise, I'll take care of it when your copyright
assignment is in place.

Testing a doc patch is as easy as rebuilding the texi source, you do not need
to rebuild and test GCC itself.

Thanks!
