But the binutils@gcc.gnu.org alias for the list was set up on 18 Jun 2001
in response to a request from RMS. (I don't know about GDB, or about the
FSF position on which domain name is used in documentation. overseers
likewise has a list alias @gcc.gnu.org.)
That's all well and good, but the basic point certainly remains: we've
worked very hard to make GCC appear to come entirely from a machine
named gcc.gnu.org, and similar work has not been done for GDB, binutils,
glibc, etc. Red Hat domain names and logos appear frequently on those
web pages.
