There was a different fix to 3.3 and mainline for this, and I also
updated the web page itself to give its permanent location as the GCC
site.  At the time these changes were made, attempts to get to
http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/bugs.html just showed a blank page.
There are often problems with the copy (not a real mirror) of GCC
pages from http://www.gnu.org.

Shall I revert these?
