Is there any interactive tool on web to understand common code bases?

I am modifying the code for glibc 2.5. Now since glibc is large and complex, I need to have a really good tool, to see interaction of different parts of the code. I am using Understand for this purpose, but Understood is only valid for 15 days. Afterwards you have to buy it.

So my question is, on web, are there sites where you can interactively understand common code bases such as glibc, gcc, linux kernel etc. I mean where you could search for some function, and then click on a function call to see its definition and such other useful features. I have used Koders.com, but it will only display the code, and is not interactive.

OpenGrok is good. You have to host it yourself though, it's not on the web.
