Bug ID: 69374
Summary: install.texi is bit-rotten
Product: gcc
Version: 6.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: target
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: sandra at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
While looking at something else, I noticed that install.texi seems to be
majorly bit-rotten, with many references to ancient versions of GCC. It even
says the instructions are for "the current development sources", so do we need
to know things like how to bootstrap versions prior to 3.4? Or that the C++
compiler in version 2.6.0 doesn't support DWARF on 386 SVR4 platforms? Or that
support for various old OS versions was removed years ago?
Much of this information is target-specific so probably the target maintainers
need to go through it and remove everything that's not relevant for
currently-supported platforms.
