Fair enough, but - also add:

1. A link to some page with guidelines on configuring older GCC releases for
maximum likelyhood of the build succeeding, on different OS distributions.

2. A link to the gcc-help mailing list page, or some other venue where one
might ask about build trouble with such releases

I had thought this was documented on https://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ but I was wrong.

We do have:
```
Duplicate bug reports, or reports of bugs already fixed in the development
tree, especially those that have already been reported as fixed last week :-)
```

On https://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ but that is more geared towards people using the
trunk rather than releases.

The issue is we allow "unknown" as Version (we have a web component and share a
bugzilla instance with classpath), so disabling versions for new bug reporting
which is a thing doesn't really help.
