RMS explicitly blessed generated cross-references and the like under the GPL. So one way to move forward is to effectively have two manuals, one containing traditional user-written text (GFDL), the other containing generated text (GPL). If you print it out as a book, the generated part would just appear as an appendix to the manual, it's "mere aggregation".
