The links for "Normal Termination" and "Termination Internals" are
invalid. Should be, respectively:

http://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/libc/manual/html_node/Normal-Termination.html
http://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/libc/manual/html_node/Termination-Internals.html

These are cross-manual links, which current makeinfo doesn't handle
well.

Ludovic asked Karl what do about that, and he said:

    Here are the choices:

    1) run with the development (CVS) makeinfo, which will use the
       htmlxref.cnf mechanism Patrice and I devised.

    2) postprocess the html with perl/sed/whatever to fix the xrefs.

    3) add .symlinks to the guile web dir to make them resolve.

    4) live with the problem until the texinfo release (or pre-release).

I'm away from the internet right now, but whenever someone gets around
to solving this, here are the options :)

This is the thing to do.

See:

  http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/HTML-Xref-Configuration.html

And the awesome htmlxref.cnf here:

  http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/htmlxref.cnf

Let's fix this when next we update the docs on the site.

It looks like this has been resolved, but please feel free to re-open
the bug report if you think I've closed it in error.

Thanks
