It's not intended that way (and "retrocomputing" is an established term),
but I've adjusted the wording. (I do think GCC should again support all
these systems - for its hack value. But, in practice, people are not that
likely to be expecting to install GCC 3 on such systems for real work
rather than for fun.)

So, should the moves of the old documentation of uncertain currency
relating to old systems be from gcc.texi and install.texi direct to the
new install manual once that's in place (rather than to the HTML manual)?
