[Bug target/69374] New: install.texi is bit-rotten


https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=69374

            Bug ID: 69374
           Summary: install.texi is bit-rotten
           Product: gcc
           Version: 6.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: target
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: sandra at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

While looking at something else, I noticed that install.texi seems to be
majorly bit-rotten, with many references to ancient versions of GCC.  It even
says the instructions are for "the current development sources", so do we need
to know things like how to bootstrap versions prior to 3.4?  Or that the C++
compiler in version 2.6.0 doesn't support DWARF on 386 SVR4 platforms?  Or that
support for various old OS versions was removed years ago?

Much of this information is target-specific so probably the target maintainers
need to go through it and remove everything that's not relevant for
currently-supported platforms.
