On the plus side, the HOWTO covers the topics of installation and basic use of GCC in a very straight-forward manner whereas the GCC Manual is very deep and verbose. The HOWTO also briefly covers installation of libraries which is nice. If I just wanted to get GCC installed and working I would probably have an easier time with the HOWTO.
On the down side, the HOWTO is very out of date. Most of the information in the "Where to get things" section is so old that it is unusable.
