I think these indeed are relevant differences. At the same time, I am
sure there are GCC hackers/power users in addition to those regularily
reading all of gcc@ and gcc-patches@, and it may be desirable to announce
such changes to them as well.
So, how about adding a section "Developer-relevant Changes" at the end of
gcc-4.2/changes.html?
Andrew, if you want to hack up a patch towards that end, I'll be glad to
review/approve (unless some others strongly disagree, in which we'll need
to consider this in more detail).
