Could you start some GCC 3.1 release notes, gcc-3.1/caveats.html, with a
list of the targets removed in 3.1 (that is, those so far removed on the
mainline but not on the 3.0 branch)?  With, of course, a note that they
probably already didn't work in 3.0.

Could you remove i386-linux-oldld as well?  (That should have a check in
config.gcc for *-linux-*oldld to avoid it then getting caught by the
general GNU/Linux stanzas.)

I'd suggest also listing all removed targets that were once supported
alongside those never updated for GCC 2 in install/specific.html#older.
