md5.sum contains outdated checksum for sha512.sum

Hi,

I noticed these files:
...
https://sourceware.org/ftp/gdb/releases/md5.sum
https://sourceware.org/ftp/gdb/releases/sha512.sum
...

and the fact that they have each other in the checksum list:
...
$ grep sum *.sum
md5.sum:d302bd90c757261f7a869a7a933ae096  sha512.sum
sha512.sum:302d3ee680099da76381af62dc8326bc73bd0f72e31733611458213b582fba4f7596b8892676a530dbd95f4fe2257b3f487048ed0815cceefb81c199a8a92662
 md5.sum
...

Only one matches:
...
$ md5sum sha512.sum
cbf4a5e7311db1d101038a3411a2cf9b  sha512.sum
$ sha512sum md5.sum
302d3ee680099da76381af62dc8326bc73bd0f72e31733611458213b582fba4f7596b8892676a530dbd95f4fe2257b3f487048ed0815cceefb81c199a8a92662
 md5.sum
...

So, AFAICT, md5.sum contains an outdated checksum for sha512.sum (and
AFAIU, as long as the files reference each other, that will be the case).

Thanks,
- Tom
