Nitpicking: -mcpu v/s -mtune for IA-32 in GCC 3.4.0 changes document


Hi,

  On this page:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.4/changes.html

one sees these lines in the IA-32/AMD-64 section:
---------------------------- 8< ----------------------------
* Tuning for K8 (AMD Opteron/Athlon64) core is available
  via -march=k8 and -mcpu=k8.

[...]

* -mcpu has been renamed to -mtune.
---------------------------- 8< ----------------------------

IMHO, the order of these sentences should be reversed
and the "-mcpu" in the first line changed to "-mtune"
like so:
