Broken link on gcc.gnu.org frontpage

[Daniel Burrows]

  The frontpage says:

"Pending release series: GCC 3.2 scheduled for 2002-07-2x"

  GCC 3.2 is a link to http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.2/ -- but when I visit
that link, I get a 403 Forbidden error.  gcc@gnu.org is the contact address
listed on the page, so I'm sending this message to you :)

Fix thusly, with a few additional tweaks.

(This main GCC 3.2 page will contain a relatively generic announcement
and will be added only directly before the actual release, but the patch
below adds a proper link for now.)

[ Blink ]

gcc 3.1 has a number of fixes which make it binary incompatible with 
gcc 3.1.

I cannot see how this can be true.

Oops. Fixed thusly.

I also remove "in it" and made it clear that the binaries generated are
incompatible.
