I'd do it for GCC.  Unfortunately, there's no clearly free version of 
the manual which is even remotely recent, so I'd actually have to write 
it from scratch, which I'm not up to doing.

Actually... given that several GCC contributors aren't happy with the 
GFDL and invariant sections, maybe we could add up all the parts *we* 
contributed (since the copyright assignment agreement still gives us the 
right to use our own works) and see what it adds up to.
