Yes, thanks!  (It would be great could you also add a note to
htdocs/branching.html on the need to update the buildstats.html
link in gcc/doc/install.texi.)

Sheesh, we actually have three sets of references to buildstat now?!
:-(

If you agree, let's remove the one in the "Host/target specific
installation notes for GCC".

Perhaps we should make this "GCC 3.0 and up" as well? (I don't think
GCC 2.95.x will be able to compile GCC 4.0 on HP-UX 11. ;-) )

BTW, it's really great that this bug was tracked down and fixed, with
significant help by several folks (including you).

Thanks!
