What is the GCC Book? Do you mean GCC documentation. If yes, let me say I read

No. I mean the book whose title I mentioned in my first reply to your original query: "Using and Porting GNU CC" by Richard M. Stallman (the 2.8.1 edition is on-line at <http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/gcc/>). It is meant as a comprehensive reference to GCC internals, though obviously one that falls out of date as soon as it goes into publication. The paper form of the version 2.8 edition is 545 pages long.

No doubt a 3.x version would be bigger, if there was a direct counterpart, but I don't see any indication there is. (For one thing, it was a pricey book: list $50 US). The current equivalent appears to be available here: <http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/onlinedocs/>.

No not yet because it is nearly impossible to get an answer or that a bug will be fixed.
I've subscribed 2 of this mailing lists.
You assume this is a bug.

If you haven't asked, how do you know you won't get a useful answer?

Ok, maybe :)
