Sure, that is doable (of course, it shouldn't be done by updating gcc/configure.ac but by adjusting the default in there based on gcc_version, I'll post a patch tomorrow). Still, what do you think we should do on the release branches (recommend to developers and check with the post-commit CI)? No regeneration of *.urls except before doing a new release candidate, or a different make goal that would grab html files from the web and regenerate against that? Jakub
