I pointed out <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-07/msg00609.html> that the manual should be updated and that GCC's gpl.texi is not a direct copy of the file from the FSF but has local Texinfo changes. But all that's happened since then is the addition of an unused file gpl_v3.texi with none of our local changes merged in. Since many free software developers don't like Invariant Sections in the GFDL, they are perhaps unlikely to take the time required to update one in the GCC manual. Patches merging the necessary changes into gpl_v3.texi and arranging for it to be used will of course be considered. -- Joseph S. Myers [EMAIL PROTECTED]
