I could not find a generic url by which to get to the current version of the GCC documentation -- all the paths I found under http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/ had a version number (e.g., 4.2.1) embedded.
Is there such a generic url? If not, I'd like to request that one be set up. Without one, making cross-manual references from other GNU packages is highly problematic. As a suggestion, perhaps http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/manual/ (the usual location) could map to the current docs, e.g., http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.2.1/, so that a url like http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/manual/cpp/Variadic-Macros.html would map to http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.2.1/cpp/Variadic-Macros.html. (This particular node was/is the target of a cross-manual link in libc that a user noticed was broken. There are lots more, of course.)
