[wwwdocs] readings.html - "Porting GCC for Dunces" is gone

[Gerald Pfeifer]

Hi H-P,

it appears this download is gone. Do you have an alternate location?

For now I applied the patch below which disables that link in 
readings.html.

FWIW archive.org seems to have a copy here:

Wha...?  No, not at the moment.

While I could certainly enter a ticket and hope to get it
reinstated that way, I guess it's time to just take the hint.

Can it be hosted on gcc.gnu.org?  From my point of view, that
seems appropriate.

Ping.  I personally would prefer it being on gcc.gnu.org but
will arrange for an alternative, if that for some reason would
be inappropriate.  FWIW, the PDF weighs in at a whopping 474174
bytes.

I was first thinking where to upload it on ftp://gcc.gnu.org, but
there doesn't appear to be an ideal place there (and do we want/
need this to be mirrored)?

How about if you upload it to the Wiki and we use that link?
