Dear sir or madam,

(in the hope that this is the correct contact for such a report)

the version "HTML - one web page per node." of the glibc manual
as it is referenced for example on this page:

    http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/

with this (defunct) link:

    http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/index.html

is missing (404).

While I do not require that version of the manual per se,
I could not help but notice that this also creates many
broken search results for search terms about glibc concepts,
terminology and functions in web search engines like Google.

I found it regrettable if this technical glitch diverted
casual web users away from the manual, possibly towards
less free, and surely less authoritative sources.

Kind regards,
Tilman Kranz
