I checked Wikipedia and Wiktionary and it knows gibibyte but not
gigibyte.
The contribution guidelines say "you must perform make info and make dvi
and correct any errors".
Since I only did a sparse checkout of /contrib and /gcc, I couldn't do
that. Because I only changed a single letter in two places I hope this
wasn't necessary in this case.
Hope this is the correct way to send fixes for minor typos and that the
patch is fine. Of course, somebody other than me would have to commit
it.
