Hi Joe,

Minor nitpick: Wouldn't it be better to mention -mcpu or -march instead?
These options can be used at compile time and do not require a new
bootstrap. Or would it make sense to mention both?

> 3.4.1 is a bug fix release only; other than the new processor tunings

typo: should be 3.3.4

Regards,
Volker
