[patch] [5/6] fix installation documentation


Seen while cleaning up the GCJ references.  The last section of the gcj install
docs doesn't belong there, but into the cross install section.  The change is
not necessary on the trunk once the gcj docs are removed.  Fixed this on the 5
and 6 branches by moving the section.

Committed as obvious.
