Maybe it was temporary, the GNU mailing list page works for me right now.

However, there has been no activity there for many years, I think we should
either remove it from our page, or at least mention that it's there for
archive purposes only.

Yes, I think it would be nice.  Would you mind providing patches for that?

This is generated from the gdb.texinfo file in the GDB source code, so you
could provide a patch for this as well:

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob;f=gdb/doc/gdb.texinfo;h=641816284954a492d6079560b9e6ab8312efa159;hb=HEAD

You can generate the HTML manual using the "make html" command in the gdb/doc
build directory.

Hmm, we would have to find out if it's a texinfo bug, or just us using texinfo wrong.

Again, you can generate this file using the "make html" command mentioned above and
try to find out why.
