gcc -mno-cygwin

gcc -mno-cygwin

[Lee]

The "-mno-cygwin" gcc option went away years ago.  Correct?

It still shows up in the output of 'man gcc':

$ man gcc | grep mno-cygwin
           x86 Windows Options -mconsole  -mcygwin  -mno-cygwin  -mdll
-mnop-fun-dllimport  -mthread -municode  -mwin32

Is that a cygwin specific or a generic gcc man page oversight?

TIA,
Lee

They were removed in 2010 except for:

	$ info gcc Invoking Option
	/Windows

invoke.texi/Option Summary/x86 Windows Options at:

https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=blob;f=gcc/doc/invoke.texi#l1454

1453 @emph{x86 Windows Options}
1454 @gccoptlist{-mconsole  -mcygwin  -mno-cygwin  -mdll @gol
1455 -mnop-fun-dllimport  -mthread @gol
1456 -municode  -mwin32  -mwindows  -fno-set-stack-executable}

from which the man gcc Windows options are generated with texi2pod and pod2man.
