[Bug 1405685] Re: GCC manpage contains invalid "@tie{}" tags

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu
better.

I see the strange tags here too, and they are also present in the
manpage on Ubuntu Vivid.

>`info gcc` doesn't have such tags, so looks like this is a bug of
converting original GCC documentation to manpage format.

Could you double-check this? They show up when I run `info gcc` here.

** Changed in: gcc-defaults (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Tags added: manpage utopic vivid

Title:
  GCC manpage contains invalid "@tie{}" tags

Status in gcc-defaults package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I found in `man gcc` following contents:

             "avrxmega7"
                 "XMEGA" devices with more than 128 at tie{}KiB of program memory and more than 64 at tie{}KiB of RAM.  mcu at tie{}= "atxmega128a1",
                 "atxmega128a1u", "atxmega128a4u".

  you can see there strange "@tie{}" tags between numbers and measure
  units, where non-breakable space should be.

  `info gcc` doesn't have such tags, so looks like this is a bug of
  converting original GCC documentation to manpage format.
