I had minor trouble formatting the gcc manual for gcc 2.7.2.  It is a
problem with cross-references and in the texinfo.tex v. 2.150 file
included in the distribution; texinfo.tex v. 2.149 (from the gcc-2.7.1
distribution) works fine.  I would suggest that in the future when
upgrading the version of texinfo.tex included in the gcc distribution
that the person bringing in the new file also try to run it on
gcc.texi and cpp.texi.  It only takes a minute...

The problem: On page 32 of the manual it couldn't find a template of
some sort, and many cross-refs from then on didn't have the title of
the cross-ref in square brackets, they had "[Wherethe Template?]"
(note the lack of "'s ").  Others were fine.  I don't know texinfo,
but the @s is suspicious in the error output below:
