I don't think we should use a URL that redirects (i.e. 
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla should preferably have a trailing '/'), and 
arguably we should use https://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ as the URL; that's the 
preferred one to point people to for bugs in the compilers themselves, 
since it gives more instructions on bug reporting (though those 
instructions may be less relevant for bugs in these files).

codingconventions.html claims that symlink-tree is "copied from mainline 
automake".  That is, I think, out-of-date information: automake's 
contrib/multilib/README says "The master (and probably more up-to-date) 
copies of the 'config-ml.in' and 'symlink-tree' files are maintained in 
the GCC development tree".  But it does indicate that 
codingconventions.html itself should be updated to stop suggesting 
symlink-tree is maintained elsewhere.

I hope the configure changes are the same as you get with regeneration 
with the right autoconf version, and so should be described as 
regeneration in the ChangeLog entries.
