(I think as maintainer you don't need approval - but of course comments
by others can be helpful; I hope mine are. Additionally, Gerald (CCed)
helps with keeping the webpages in good shape (thanks!).)

Can you add <a href="...">...</a> around the "--with-arch=fiji"? Linking to

https://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#amdgcn-x-amdhsa

I think that page is helpful (once the cron job has updated that page).

Additionally, I wonder whether "Fiji" should be changed to "Fiji
(gfx803)" in the first line and whether the  "," should be removed in
"The ... configuration ... , and no longer includes".

Thanks,

Tobias

Fair enough, how's this version? (I like the comma, even if it is optional.)

LGTM – for what it is worth.

Thanks!

it's definitely fine. I do have a recommendation and a question, though 
feel free to go about them as you prefer.

+  <li>The default device architecture is now <code>gfx900</code> (Vega).</li>

How about starting with this as the first sub-item, as a "positive", 
then follow with the deprecation?

+<ul>
+  <li>
+    The Fiji (gfx803) device support is now deprecated and will be removed from

Could this be "Fiji (gfx803) device support" without the article?
