I would like to do this, but my understanding is that there is a
licensing problem, in that the source is GPL and the documentation is
GFDL.  (Joseph Myers has mentioned this several times on the GCC lists.)

Until that is resolved I don't think any progress can be made here.

Apparently we got some kind of special permission for observer.texi, so
I suppose it is possible in principle.
