Documentation issue, applies to all configurations, both on master and
5.1 testing branches.
The links to GNU downloads in the docs are broken. The downloads have
been unavailable over plain FTP for over 2 years now.
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub is disabled, and accessing the downloads over
HTTPS is the current way.
Patch against master below, not including the files that get rebuilt by
make.
