I disagree with this assessment that this report is invalid. This is not a
complaint that I couldn't find the right instructions, this is a suggestion for
improving the web site. Since I mentioned several possibilities, I would
appreciate some guidance as to which way you want things to look, and may then
even come up with a patch.

The instructions on the web speak of "Installing GCC", and do not even mention
that they are not version-specific nor for the current release branch. They
also do not point to the install instructions in the tarball. This is
misleading at best.

In particular, the web instructions speak of "old instructions", but refer only
to "really old instructions", not to instructions for previous releases.

Another issue is that the web instructions refer to released versions when
downloading (suggesting that one should install released versions), and at the
same time list prerequisites that are not applicable to any released version.
