As mentioned several email ago, xrefs from one .info to another. For
example, in the "gcj" info page in the "Invoking gcj" node is a link
to the "Option Summary" node of the "gcc" info page. You have gcj at
gcj-fsf-4.5 and gcc at gcc-fsf-4.5. If I don't have gcc4.5 installed,
then I only have gcc-fsf-4.5 (not gcc) and the link is broken. If I
have gcc4.4 (or any "other than 4.5 gcc") installed, then the link
goes to *that* gcc, not the 4.5 one (i.e., gcj-fsf-4.5 is sending me
to a symlink to gcc-fsf-4.4 rather than gcc-fsf-4.5). That's the
problem I'm trying to solve. If the documentation isn't
self-consistent (from the perspective of the reader), it's not
useful/usable.
