Thank you to the GCC 3.2 developers!
Folks,
As mentioned in an earlier mail, I am working on a revision of the "install"

As someone who reads all of the build reports carefully, I like this

"make -k check" after "make bootstrap", with a link to the archived
test results. You can mention that running the tests is optional but
is a very good idea. Sending in the test results allows other people
to notice problems with your build, and it provides a comparison for
other people building on the same platform.
Building GCC the first time can be difficult, but we get used to it
very quickly and forget that it can be confusing. Thanks for making
