When doing non-exactly menu lookup, the stand-alone info reader
looks for an exact match (returning the first hit), then a
case-insensitive match (returning the first hit), then a
case-insensitive prefix match (returning the last hit).  (This is in
info_follow_menus.)

In my /usr/share/info/dir, gcc-3.3 comes before gccint-3.3, and
there are no other gcc entries installed.  It looks like the order
is alphabetical within sections (ie, Development).

So a solution to my specific problem would be to rename things so
the gcc file is alphabetically last.  That's pretty dumb, though.
Ideally, there would be a way to give an info page an alias, but
that doesn't seem to exist.  Maybe the best thing is to change the
weird logic in the info reader.  Or I should just give up and admit
that info pages don't correspond directly to program names.
