Thanks for the hint (even if it took us some time to process it).
I just installed the following patch for GCC mainline which will cause
the web page to be updated within 24 hours.
2005-06-26 Gerald Pfeifer <gerald@pfeifer.com>
* doc/install.texi (Specific): Do not specify the concrete
versions of GCC provided by Cygwin. Simplify the part on
building on Cygwin.
Once GCC 4.0.1 has been released, I plan to also commit the patch there.
