>Description:
I have found two problems with the web page
      http://gcc.gnu.org/readings.html
in the "Miscellaneous information" section:

1.  The link "What Every Computer Scientist Should Know
    about Floating-Point Arithmetic" points to an online
    version in the ACM digital library.  This doesn't appear
    to provide full text without a paid subscription (at least
    I haven't been able to get the full text from it).
    I suggest we change the link to point to one of the
    freely available versions of this same document on
    the web, such as
        http://www.validlab.com/goldberg/paper.ps
    and/or
        http://www.validlab.com/goldberg/paper.pdf

2. The link "Differences in IEEE 754 Implementations"
   (an appendix of the Goldberg paper) points to a site
    that has moved.  The new url is
        http://www.validlab.com/goldberg/addendum.html
