Cool, I agree with all you nits and have made the changes.  Thanks for
the good and speedy review!  But...

...if I write:

With contemporary GNU tools, auto-import often saves the day, but see
the GNU ld documentation and its @code{--enable-auto-import} option
for some corner cases when it does not
(@pxref{Options, , --enable-auto-import, ld, The GNU linker})

that renders as:

   With contemporary GNU tools, auto-import often saves the day, but see
the GNU ld documentation and its `--enable-auto-import' option for some
corner cases when it does not (*note -enable-auto-import: (ld)Options.)

with my info reader.  Why is one dash eaten?  Can I stop that from
happening?  Should I care? (i.e. the link works, at least for me)  And...

...what's up with the extra "@/" in your version?  (just curious)

Regarding line breaking, both versions render similar to:

   It should be noted that there are various projects that attempt to
relax these requirements by various low level tricks, but they are not
discussed here.  Examples are FlexDLL
(http://alain.frisch.fr/flexdll.html) and edll
(http://edll.sourceforge.net/).

in my 80 column info reader.  Which is not optimal IMVHO.  :-/  Oh well.

Cheers,
