You could instead just mark up that example as, e.g., <a
rel="IndexTerm">GCC</a>

It's not forgotten. It was intentionally dropped in HTML5.
It's documented as a dropped attribute here:

  http://www.w3.org/TR/html5-diff/#obsolete-attributes

It's actually the first attribute listed there.

That's a bug in the HTML5 spec. I've raised bug 26531 for it.
