In that case it is the input that is wrong: Some macros are predefined on each kind of machine (@pxref{System-specific Predefined Macros, System-specific Predefined Macros, System-specific Predefined Macros, gcc, Using the GNU Compiler Collection}). This allows you to provide code specially tuned for a particular machine. It should be Some macros are predefined on each kind of machine (@pxref{System specific Predefined Macros, System specific Predefined Macros, System-specific Predefined Macros, gcc, Using the GNU Compiler Collection}). This allows you to provide code specially tuned for a particular machine. changing the hyphen to a space in "System specific".
