------------------------------------------

Primary source of documentation for these pages is Texinfo manual of gnulib
and not man-pages.

reassign 123999 glibc-doc
thanks

Primary source of obstack documentation seems to be glibc and not in
gnulib:

https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Freeing-Obstack-Objects.html
https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/gnulib.html#obstack_005ffree

I don't know what the glibc-doc debian package policy for including man
pages is, but if manpages for these functions should be added to Debian
I think they ought to come from glibc-doc.  Glibc appears to be the
canonical origin for these functions.
