This first part of this patch is obvious. While looking into a similar
issue in the second hunk I realized that probably the entire paragraph
could/should go. It does not look current / like a FAQ any more these
days.
Okay?

Although I agree that problems with v2 headers are not reported now
and that paragraph could go, the next one starting "If the headers"
makes less sense ... which headers?
How about "If you are using headers in ${prefix}/include/g++-3 ..." ?

Sounds good to me. Do you approve the following, update patch for
mainline and the GCC 4.5 branch?

Thanks for looking into this.
For the record, this is the version I applied to the GCC 4.5 branch;
exactly the same contents, just the markup had changed so I needed to
accomodate for that.
