OK, changed up a bit, what do you think of this:
maintainer-scripts/ChangeLog:
* update_web_docs_git: Set CONTENTS_OUTPUT_LOCATION=inline in
order to put @shortcontents above contents. See

gcc/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: Add check for the Texinfo 6.8
CONTENTS_OUTPUT_LOCATION customization variable and set it if
supported.
* configure: Regenerate.
* Makefile.in (MAKEINFO_TOC_INLINE_FLAG): New variable. Set by
configure.ac to -c CONTENTS_OUTPUT_LOCATION=inline if
CONTENTS_OUTPUT_LOCATION support is detected, empty otherwise.
($(build_htmldir)/%/index.html): Pass MAKEINFO_TOC_INLINE_FLAG.

Hmmm, first off, I think somebody other than me needs to approve the
configure and makefile pieces, as well as the maintainer-scripts part.
It looks conceptually right to me, although I would add a comment to new
configure.ac piece like
"Newer versions of Texinfo put the table of contents in the wrong place
by default in HTML output, but provide a command-line option to restore
the desired behavior. Check whether we need to do that."
I don't know whether the maintainer-scripts change needs to be made
conditional too. :-S
BTW, this change probably needs to be backported to all active GCC
branches (10, 11, and 12) too after it's committed to mainline.
