3.4.1 release notes, round two

[Joe Buck <Joe dot Buck at synopsys dot COM>]

Here is a corrected version, based on feedback (thanks, folks).

I added 14220, moved 15159 to multi-platform ICEs, moved 15717 to
x86-specific, removed (SB1 flavor) from 16176, and fixed a couple of typos.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This document lists the problem reports (PRs) from GCC's bug tracking
system (Bugzilla) that are known to be fixed in the 3.4.1 release. This
list might not be complete (that is, it is possible that some PRs
that have been fixed are not listed here).

3.4.1 is a bug fix release only; there are no new features that were not
present in GCC 3.4.0.  Object code and libraries are believed to be fully
binary compatible with code and libraries from previous GCC 3.4.x releases
(though, as always, free software developers cannot provide any
warranties).

It was recently discovered that the C++ standard library cannot be built
sucessfully on AIX 4.3.3 (though AIX 5.x releases are not affected),
either by GCC 3.4.0 or GCC 3.4.1.  A fix is being investigated.

To see details of any bug, visit http://gcc.gnu.org/PR##### , where the
##### is replaced by the actual bug number.

Here is the list of fixes with respect to GCC 3.4.0.

In addition to the bugs listed below, PR's 15569, 15941, 16129, and 16182
were reported against the 3.4 development branch, but they do not occur in
any released version of GCC.
