an older x86-32 Linux (Redhat 8.0) system.

The g++ version is: g++ (GCC) 3.4.0
Currently, install.texi states:
@heading Tools/packages necessary for building GCC
@table @asis
@item ISO C90 compiler
Necessary to bootstrap GCC, although versions of GCC prior
to 3.4 also allow bootstrapping with a traditional (K&R) C compiler.
To build all languages in a cross-compiler or other configuration where
3-stage bootstrap is not performed, you need to start with an existing
GCC binary (version 2.95 or later) because source code for language
frontends other than C might use GCC extensions.
This appears to be out-of-date with respect to new C++ stage 1
build requirement.
Please advise.
Thanks,
