[PATCH] FAQ: pointers to platform-specific information

[Janis Johnson <janis187 at us dot ibm dot com>]

Questions about whether GCC works on a particular platform are asked
frequently in the gcc mailing list.  This patch to the FAQ points people
to the host/target specific installation notes and to the build status
lists.  It also fixes a minor formatting problem in existing text.

OK to install?
