Since you have access to a unix machine, do you have the tex system
installed on it?  TexInfo files (.texi) can be formatted into .dvi
files using the tex package and the texinfo include file (which is
ftp-able from most gnu sites if you don't have it already).  The dvi
file can be formatted into most printer formats.  There also exists a
program to convert dvi files into ASCII text (dvitty), although you
lose all formatting.

TexInfo files may also be turned into .info hypertext documents for
the Gnu-Emacs info system using the makeini program (also available
from Gnu sites) or using the texinfo-format-buffer command of
Gnu-Emacs.  Note that some emacs installations aren't up to the
current patch level for texinfo formatting.

I believe there also exists the documentation in text form at
ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.  Look for gcc21txt.zoo in the /pub/os2/2.0/gnu/gcc21
directory.
