This appears to be true as long as those "features" are attributed
to the to-be-built-and-installed software only.  However, the 3.2.2
build system now supports DESTDIR completely and thus simplifies the
synopsis of packaging commands.  I would not point this out if it
were not already specified in `gcc-3.2/changes.html' (cf.
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-01/msg02299.html).  To avoid
apparent inconsistency, I'd refine or adapt the "bug fix only"
statement.  For example, the 3.2.1 release notes introduce `-Wabi'
and then state that "otherwise, 3.2.1 is a bug fix release only".
The 3.2.2 release notes could use similar wording.
