You would probably find a lot of interest, but that's really up to you.
It's your editorial decision, not ours.  Just go to http://gcc.gnu.org/
and look around.  

You might want to include links to ...

Main site: http://gcc.gnu.org/
Obtaining pre-compiled versions: http://gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html
Online documentation: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/

I don't think it's a good idea for us to publish such material.  The
reason is that doing so would suggest that we are a resource to help
programmers learn to program.  That's not the function of the GCC project;
our main mailing list is strictly for serious developers and testers of
the compiler, and even the gcc-help list is intended for people who know
the language they are programming in but require specific help with some
GCC issue.

If you link to any pointers to our mailing lists, please warn people that
questions like "How do I do X in C++?" will not get a friendly reception
on any GCC list.
