The info files have already been processed by TexInfo and all control
information has been transformed, and some of it lost (eg, font
control).  I'm surprised texi2html does anything at all.  (Well, not

input.  At least in Lisp, anyway. ;-)  You need the _source_ for the
gcc manual, in TexInfo (which looks sorta like TeX except that all the
backslashes are changed to at-signs).
