Shouldn't those URLs better point to a specific version, lest 
they might break with any newer release?

The question is "a bit" rhetorical, since there appears to be 
nothing at onlinedocs/gcc-14.0.0/ (and "nearby numbers").

Still, maybe there ought to be a copy of onlinedocs/gcc/ that is 
frozen at time of release.
