Okay, I put the following lines into ./.texinfo/htmlxref.cnf:

emacs split http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/
emacs mono http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/emacs.html

Then I processed the AUCTeX manual by calling a changed version of
gendocs.sh with the following lines for HTML generation:

Monolithic:
cmd="${TEXI2HTML} -o $PACKAGE.html $html \"$srcfile\""

Split by nodes:
cmd="${TEXI2HTML} --split node --use-nodes --node-files 
--top-file=\"index.html\" -o $PACKAGE.html $html \"$srcfile\""

In the manual there is a cross-reference to the Emacs manual which is
specified like this:
@ref{Font Lock, , Font Lock Mode, emacs, GNU Emacs Manual}

The resulting Link in HTML output for the split manual is 
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/Font-Lock.html#Font-Lock
which is correct.  The monolithic manual will use the same base URL
for link construction, however.  The result is
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/#Font-Lock
which does not work.

Is this a bug or did I do something wrong?  I am using texi2html 1.76.
