You are right that there is a versioning problem with the install
instructions though. I suspect that they are generated directly from
the gcc/doc/install.texi file in the CVS repository, which means they
are really only right for the curent development sources.
And this is documented on those pages. Somewhere. (I suspect there's
one or more links that bypass this warning, and that Dan may have followed
one of those. Not much we can do about that without a bunch of renaming.)
I didn't bypass any warnings.
Here's the path I followed: I clicked on "Installation" on the
left-hand column of http://gcc.gnu.org, then I clicked on "3. Configuration".
This is the main path users might follow.
At no point did it mention what version these instructions were for.
Seems to me the "Installation" link should move underneath the
"Manual" page, http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/
which is very nicely versioned. What say ye, o webmasters?
