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).
