I checked this with some colleagues, and while personally I slightly
prefer this variant, the "?" might cause problems for non-experienced
users, as it is a meta-character in shells, so perhaps we'd better use
and advertise

  http://gcc.gnu.org/PRnnn

instead?

Daniel plans to switch to Bugzilla relatively shortly after the release,
and Bugzilla already contains all those "old" bugs.  How about referring
to http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/ instead?

PS: I suggest to use "C", "C++" and the sections with actual PRs, and
generally start headings with an uppercase letter. Also, it's should read
"SPARC" instead of "sparc", but these really are only very minor issues.
