Thanks for the alternate suggestion!
Taking into account the original feedback, and after waiting another week
for further feedback, I applied I my original patch:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-05/msg00894.html
Joe's point that this is in fact not a FAQ certainly helped convince me
that this is indeed the right approach. If we want to _thank_ specific
companies, that could/should go into gcc/doc/contrib.texi, I'd say.
