The manual page
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Requirements.html#Requirements

contains a link to

https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/gnutls-guile/Guile-Preparations.html#Guile-Preparations

which give a 404. I am not familiar with what's supposed to be there, a
quick search for "gnutls-guile/Guile-Preparations.html" in duckduckgo gives me
http://www.gnutls.org/manual/gnutls-guile/Guile-Preparations.html as one
of 2 results.

Should I fix the link to this one and send in a patch?

Thanks,

The broken links stem from missing/incomplete cross-reference info for
‘makeinfo’ in the ‘htmlxref.cnf’ config file (info "(texinfo) HTML Xref
Configuration").

Commit 49e0ca9 adds this file to the repo, taken from Texinfo 6.1 and
modified to fix some of the links (like GnuTLS) and include others
(Shepherd, Guile-Avahi, etc.)

When we update the manual for the next release, everything will be
alright hopefully.  In the meantime, it’s easier to leave things as is,
and hopefully not too much of an issue.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
