The gcc developers need to provide a stable, version-independent link
for the manual.  This link would have worked in the past, but I don't
know how recently it broke.
The URL 
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/System-specific-Predefined-Macros.html
has been stable for many years.

In that case it is the input that is wrong:

    Some macros are predefined on each kind of machine
    (@pxref{System-specific Predefined Macros, System-specific Predefined
    Macros, System-specific Predefined Macros, gcc, Using the GNU Compiler
    Collection}).  This allows you to provide code specially tuned for a
    particular machine.

It should be

    Some macros are predefined on each kind of machine
    (@pxref{System specific Predefined Macros, System specific Predefined
    Macros, System-specific Predefined Macros, gcc, Using the GNU Compiler
    Collection}).  This allows you to provide code specially tuned for a
    particular machine.

changing the hyphen to a space in "System specific".

There is one additional error here if the above-mentioned URL is correct: the reference should point to the (cpp) manual instead of the (gcc) manual.
