Nice catch!
I've fixed this in the .htaccess file in coreutils' web-cvs repo.
Marking this as done.

Have a nice day,

The SEE ALSO section of install(1) man page contains a broken URL:

    Full documentation at: <https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/install>

The URL returns:

    404 - Page Not Found

I suspect it is caused by the build-time rename ginstall -> install.  If one
substitutes 'install' by 'ginstall' in the above URL, then it redirects to the
following URL:

    https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/ginstall-invocation.html#ginstall-invocation

... which does not work either.  It should be redirected to the following URL
instead:

    https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/install-invocation.html#install-invocation

Unfortunately, I do not know where the redirections are maintained.  This was
originally reported in Red Hat Bugzilla:

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1649774
