If I knew where it was mentioned, probably.

This seems to be what happened in practice, but my :

cp gcc-3.4.3/install-sh gcc-3.4.3/boehm-gc
cp gcc-3.4.3/install-sh gcc-3.4.3/config
cp gcc-3.4.3/install-sh gcc-3.4.3/contrib
cp gcc-3.4.3/install-sh gcc-3.4.3/fastjar
cp gcc-3.4.3/install-sh gcc-3.4.3/gcc
cp gcc-3.4.3/install-sh gcc-3.4.3/include
cp gcc-3.4.3/install-sh gcc-3.4.3/intl
cp gcc-3.4.3/install-sh gcc-3.4.3/libf2c
cp gcc-3.4.3/install-sh gcc-3.4.3/libffi
cp gcc-3.4.3/install-sh gcc-3.4.3/libiberty
cp gcc-3.4.3/install-sh gcc-3.4.3/libjava
cp gcc-3.4.3/install-sh gcc-3.4.3/libobjc
cp gcc-3.4.3/install-sh gcc-3.4.3/libstdc++-v3
cp gcc-3.4.3/install-sh gcc-3.4.3/maintainer-scripts
cp gcc-3.4.3/install-sh gcc-3.4.3/zlib

didn't seem to break anything, and the install completed
successfully.  Anyway, hopefully any problem will vanish when
3.4.4 comes out.
