On this one, we follow the style of http://www.gnu.org.  Looking into the 
CSS there, I see that indeed they (and thus us) set a different background 
color, alas that color is #fefefe which is white for all practical matters.

I guess this can be considered a bug, so I'll apply the patch below on 
gcc.gnu.org in a minute and try to get a discussion with webmaster@gnu.org
on this started.  (Viewers of http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/ will still
get the design in sync with the main page there, but http://gcc.gnu.org
will get the background.)

Okay?

Addressed by several changes yesterday.  Should be much more consistent
now.
