[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
OK, here's a clue re: the first issue.

The flymake "nodes" (
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/flymake/ ) manual
(attempts) to make a relative "cross link" to the eglot "nodes" manual,
like so:

    <a data-manual="eglot"
href="../eglot_html/Eglot-Features.html#Eglot-Features">Eglot Features</a>

That "relative cross link" must not work, apparently, within the server
tree at /software/emacs/manual/

This happens regardless of
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/flymake/ vs.
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/flymake/index.html
(I was hasty+wrong in claiming that that distinction was pertinent.)

OTOH, FWIW, the *mono* manual
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/flymake.html links like
this

    <a data-manual="eglot" href="eglot.html#Eglot-Features">Eglot
Features</a>

... which works.
