Re: [3.3.1 Doc patch] Backport doco changes from Mainline

Thanks! The typo changes are certainly fine, but some of the others don't seem right.

And some were changes for the worse, which at least we should not move to the branch. For example, many of Zack's patches to install.texi:

  -FreeBSD 1 is no longer supported in GCC 3.2.
  +FreeBSD 1 is no longer supported.

It would be much better for this to read

+FreeBSD 1 is no longer supported since GCC 3.2.

Please go ahead and commit those parts you are completely confident with (including type fixes, GNU CC -> GCC,...), but ask for explicit review (ideally from those contributing the patch) for the other ones or simply skip them.

Thanks, I know this is no fun nor easy work!

Gerald et al.,


Thanks for the comments:

I now realized that an already approved patch of mine that was in my local tree
snuck regarding -m128bit-long-doubles snuck in their also. http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-07/msg00050.html


The problem is that I don't yet have cvs write access since I'm still awaiting the FSF folks to OK my copyright assignment. So obviously I won't be able to commit anything until then which will surely be after both 3.3.1 is released and the hardcopy is finalized.

What should be the next step?
