I'm pleased to announce that GCC 3.3.6 has been released. 

  This version is a minor release, fixing regressions in GCC 3.3.5
with respect to previous versions of GCC.  It can be downloaded from
the FTP serves listed here

  This release is the last from the 3.3.x series.
    

  Many thanks to the huge GCC community who contributed to the
completion of this release.

Just curious, are you guys interested in these types of brain dead janitorial 
patches?  I've noticed a few other small oops'es (eg. wrong dates and links for 
the release history at http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.3/) that probably get overlooked 
by busy people. ;)  i could just make a note when i come across them and roll a 
patch when (if) there's enough to be worth it.

yes, if you spot any inconsistency I'm very happy to accept a patch
;-)

I noticed that on <http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#windows> it
states:

"A port of GCC 2.95.2 and 3.x is included with the Cygwin environment."

However, the Cygwin project had to remove its 2.95 gcc package due to
brokenness (and lack of maintainer interest in resolving it) quite some
time ago, so it's probably misleading to state that it's available.

Also, the link "GCC Frontend HOWTO" on readings.html is 404 compliant.

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.
