Yup, it does, and I'm trying to address this over the weekend, in that
o the online docs at http://gcc.gnu.org/install gets updated from this;
o the release tarballs' INSTALL directory is filled that way.

Thanks for the offer. We've made good progress on the way, cleaning
doc/install.texi, but there's still some way to go.
And, for GCC 3.0, the primary focus is on HTML and ASCII documentation,
and I think we've nearly met this deliverable yet -- the install docs
of GCC 3.0 will be strictly better than those for GCC 2.95 AFAICS (thanks,
not the least, to several contributors like those in the To and Cc).
