Well, but in that case it should be either completely removed or --
probably better -- contain a pointer to install.texi:

  "This file, which used to contain installation instructions for
   gcc/egcs, has been superseded by install.texi. Please check the
   information there."


IMHO, out of all possible scenarios, an out-of-date gcc/INSTALL is surely
the worst: Once having found INSTALL, most people won't look any further,
thus using obsolete resp. incomplete information.
