Thsnks for the hint; however, I tried that and the response was:

evansl@evansl-desktop:~/download/gcc/4.5.1-release$ gpg --recv-keys 
FC26A641
gpg: no keyserver known (use option --keyserver)
gpg: keyserver receive failed: bad URI

Further reading of man page and the searching with:

http://www.gnu.org/cgi-bin/estseek.cgi?phrase=keyserver

showed:

http://www.gnu.org/software/glpk/glpk.html

which lead me to:

evansl@evansl-desktop:~/download/gcc/4.5.1-release$ gpg --keyserver 
keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys FC26A641
gpg: requesting key FC26A641 from hkp server keys.gnupg.net
gpg: key 981C74C7: public key "Richard Guenther 
<richard.guenther@gmail.com>" imported
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1
evansl@evansl-desktop:~/download/gcc/4.5.1-release$ gpg --verify 
gcc-4.5.1.tar.bz2.sig
gpg: Signature made Sat Jul 31 06:15:12 2010 CDT using RSA key ID FC26A641
gpg: Good signature from "Richard Guenther <richard.guenther@gmail.com>"
gpg:                 aka "Richard Guenther (Work) <rguenther@suse.de>"
gpg:                 aka "Richard Guenther <richard.guenther@gmx.net>"
gpg:                 aka "Richard Guenther (GCC) <rguenth@gcc.gnu.org>"
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the 
owner.
Primary key fingerprint: 1397 5A70 E63C 361C 73AE  69EF 6EEB 81F8 981C 74C7
      Subkey fingerprint: 7F74 F97C 1034 68EE 5D75  0B58 3AB0 0996 FC26 A641
evansl@evansl-desktop:~/download/gcc/4.5.1-release$

All this information or at least a link to it would be very helpful
on:

http://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html

I'll send the above suggestion to:

<webmasters@gnu.org>.

which was listed at the bottom of the ftp.html page.

Thanks for all the help.
