Ah, I see. Please find below a patch I have installed that tries to
address this:

   Rename gcc-3.0/gcc-3.0.html to gcc-3.0/index.html and provide a
   redirect.  Update the page to cover both 3.0 and 3.0.1, and change
   several links to that page.

Ahem, not me, if you watch the CVS logs, though...

...I agreed (and still do) that having a single index page per major
release is preferrable.

Hints on how to improve the current presentation are highly welcome.

Gerald

+<h2>Welcome to the GCC home page!</h2>
+
+<p>In April 1999, the egcs steering committee was appointed by the FSF
+as the official GNU maintainer for GCC.  At that time GCC was renamed
+from the "GNU C Compiler" to the "GNU Compiler Collection" and received
+a new <a href="gccmission.html">mission statement</a>.
+
+<p>Currently GCC contains front-ends for C, C++, Objective C, Chill,
+Fortran, and <a href="java/">Java</A>
+as well as libraries for these languages (<a href="libstdc++/">libstdc++</a>,
+libgcj,...).
+</p>
+
+<p>We want to work closely with developers to help and encourage them
+to <a href="contribute.html">contribute changes</a> for inclusion in
+GCC.  We thus provide access to our development sources with <a
+href="snapshots.html">weekly snapshots</a> and <a
+href="cvs.html">anonymous CVS</a>.</p>
+
+<p>We will provide regular, high quality
+<a href="releases.html">releases</a>.
+We want those releases to work well on a variety of native (including
+GNU/Linux) and cross targets and use an extensive
+<a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/testresults/";>test suite</a> as well as
+<a href="benchmarks/">various benchmark suites
+and automated testers</a> to maintain and improve quality.
+<a href="gcc-3.0/">GCC 3.0.1</a> is the current release,
+GCC 3.0.2 is scheduled for October.
