The position of sourcebuild.texi is that all targets *should* be listed in
install.texi. That's an ideal rather than the current state.
install-old.texi has some very old lists, one of the remaining parts of
getting rid of install-old.texi would be to make install.texi have a full
list of current targets then remove the old list of targets from
install-old.texi.
@item
Entries in @file{gcc/doc/install.texi} for all target triplets
supported with this target architecture, giving details of any special
notes about installation for this target, or saying that there are no
special notes if there are none.
