You want gcc-doc, which is in contrib, and will install the relevant
gcc-X.X-doc package from non-free.

gcc's man pages and documentation are licensed under a variant of the
GFDL that Debian has decided is non-free, hence their removal from main.

The gcc packages do Suggest: gcc-doc, which is much as a package in main
may do with respect to a package in non-free.
