+Reporting Bugs in GDB
+=====================
+
+   There are several ways of reporting bugs in GDB.  The prefered
+method is to use the World Wide Web:
+
+      http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/bugs/
+
+As an alternative, the bug report can be submitted, via e-mail, to the
+address "bug-gdb@gnu.org".
 
-   The correct address for reporting bugs found in gdb is
-"bug-gdb@gnu.org".  Please email all bugs, and all requests for help

 different configurations, it is important that you be precise about
 this.  If at all possible, you should include the actual banner that
 GDB prints when it starts up, or failing that, the actual configure
 command that you used when configuring GDB.
