>Description:
(re-opening "PR:docs/72285" from Sun Oct 03 17:50:21 GMT 2004 
and "gnu/58583" from 2003/10/26)

Man page on gcc.1 is now really obselete; (I've checked :
it was already obselete at least, on version "2.95.4 20020320
[FreeBSD]"); event if
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/contrib/gcc/?only_with_tag=RELENG_5_4 
give it untouched for *only* two years.

It appears that Gcc team still maintains this man pages: 
importants parts of this man especially about Warnings
and errors options have been heavily changed since this 
manpage is in the cvs.


Thx.    PM.


>How-To-Repeat:
man gcc
>Fix:
Huge cut and paste from original to get the man synced again 
(official manpage of gcc 4.0.0 is 5 times bigger)
or the worlds "please consider this man page really obselete"
at the beginning of it.
