I managed to debug this today, and it looks like an issue with the (old) version of makeinfo on RHEL 6 that powers gcc.gnu.org. That "non-existing" file actually does exist, alas only in the form of a single line that contains the redirect you are seeing, which is another artefact of how makeinfo --html works. Given that newer version of makeinfo are not fully compatible, causing issues with older versions of the GCC documentation which we still need to build for new releases of older codestreams the best course of action for now seems to live with those broken anchors (at least the right page is invoked). Not happy, don't get me wrong. Gerald
