Oh. Oh. I didn't realize that /usr/bin/gcc was managed by gcc
instead of alternatives. With this setup, I see that it is easy to
solve the problem by installing gcc-doc. However, if gcc were
managed by alternatives, then this solution wouldn't be possible.
Ie, info isn't compatible with alternatives. Oh well.
As for this bug, there probably isn't anything to do. I didn't know
how info worked when I filed the bug. I've suggested to the
upstream info developer that it should always find the first
matching menu entry. If this change is applied, "info gcc" should
at least give gcc-something in preference to gccint-something.
