Build successful for GCC 3.2.2 on FC4, or backward bootstrap compatibility


I recently had to build gcc 3.2.2 on an FC4 box. This failed using gcc 4.0.2 as the bootstrap compiler since gcc 3.2.2 uses no-longer-accepted extensions. So I built gcc 3.4.5 using 4.0.2, and used that to bootstrap 3.2.2.

Now, if it is part of the release criteria that release N-1 must be buildable with release N, then it worked well. If not, I'd like to suggest that it be added, as it makes building older gcc releases possible (though perhaps lengthy).
