Hi, all!
The problems with gcc-2.95.x documentation build require a very small update to the install.texi:

Please add 2.95 in the note.

It *is* gcc-2.95.x (and only gcc-2.95.x, of the versions GPC supports).

I thought someone might want to build with 2.8.x, and I couldn't check if it behaves in the same way. Hence this formulation.
But I'm not religious about it.

It doesn't.

Good, then I'll improve it. Perhaps "bail out" sounds too slang also?
