The release announcements would only include a subset of that page,
perhaps with a pointer to it.
I'm not sure that the way that page is written, it is clear enough to
the casual reader that one compiler produces both 32 and 64 bit code
on the UltraSPARC, especially since with 3.0, one could produce a
64-bit-only compiler by going through a great deal of pain. Something like
For UltraSPARC, GCC can produce either 32-bit code (by default)
or 64-bit code (if the option -m64 is provided).
might be better
The only thing missing from my list in changes.html is the libstdc++
modifications; someone from the libstdc++ team should decide what to
write there.
