Thanks for the hint; I just removed this server from our mirrors list.

For these two, I sent notifications to the respective server operators
and plan to remove their sites from our mirrors list if we do not get
a positive response.

Interestingly, there are MX records for this host, but indeed there is
no A record.

Sites are sometimes unreachable for us, but reachable for users in the
respective geographical areas/countries.

Both ftp.task.gda.pl and sunsite.icm.edu.pl are regular gnu.org mirrors, 
not specific gcc.gnu.org mirrors.  I thus removed both from the mirror 
list.

I installed the patch below.

(When you refer to "weird structure", is this about gcc3.3 residing in
an extra subdirectory called "releases"?)

ftp.funet.fi no longer mirrors us; remove it.
ftp.task.gda.pl and sunsite.icm.edu.pl are regular gnu.org mirrors,
not specific gcc.gnu.org mirrors; remove them.
Make comments on sites only carrying releases and references to
cities more consistent.
