hm, that gives:

                                   Forbidden

   You don't have permission to access
   /lists/vger.kernel.org/linux-kernel/39/196123.html on this server.

but yeah, i had the impression that gcc couldnt yet do this. Not a 
showstopper, but it would be nice to initiate the gcc side of things ...
