I might note that this comment is very out-of-date by now (HTML output
supports splitting by node since version 4.1, and the src tree's toplevel
requires makeinfo version 4.4 or later). I think it would be a good idea
for GDB to use makeinfo --html just like other GNU software does, and
thereby avoid the various texi2html compatibility issues such as those
addressed by these recent patches. Carlos, perhaps you could contribute
your patch to do so?
