html-tidy could work well. Written in C. A typical session from Git
Sources following [1]:

git pull
cd gcc
./configure
mkdir HTML
makeinfo --html --no-split -Idoc -Idoc/include -o HTML doc/gcc.texi
tidy -f HTML/errs.txt -imu HTML/gcc.html

Typical current reported errors are
line 23080 column 22 - Warning: nested emphasis <samp>
line 40445 column 11 - Warning: nested emphasis <code>
line 3541 column 1 - Warning: <span> anchor "index-g_002b_002b" already
defined
line 54489 column 1 - Warning: <table> lacks "summary" attribute
