Everything looks okay to me, when I look at that page. Which pieces specifically do you see that are not hyperlinked?
"fdatasync(2), fsync(2), sync(2), syncfs(2)" in
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/sync.1.html

BTW, the colophon says the tarball was downloaded from <http://www.gnutls.org/download.html>, which seems incorrect. You might want to ditch tarballs and get source from the git repo instead: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/coreutils.git

So, the problem is that the coreutils manual pages (of which sync(1) is one) yse rather nonstandard formatting (that is to day, no formatting at all) for cross-referenced pages. This makes it difficult for me to catch these hyperlinks in my scripts in a robust way, but I will see what I can do to improve things.

Are these scripts available to the public?
