Do you have the manpages-dev package installed?

gcc-doc is in main. My guess would be that gcc-doc[version] is in either contrib or non-free because it will have invariant sections. Either add contrib and non-free to your sources list or go to http://packages.debian.org/gcc-doc and follow the links to the version you want, download the deb and install it with dpkg.
