I got the idea from the Constraints documentation, and for those I 
always looked in the Internals Manual.  But now I see that there is 
similar, but not identical, Constraints documentation in both the GCC 
manual and the Internals Manual.

I am not so fluent in texinfo that I would attempt it, but it seems that 
these sections should be factored into separate files so that the same 
information can appear in both manuals and not have the current 
divergence of content.
