[Bug web/23644] New: IA-64 hardware models and configuration options documentation error for 3.4.x and 4.0.x

Hello,

I've filed this under web, though obviously it applies to your info pages as
well, I assume you generate everything from the same source, so this may be
better filed somewhere else.  (How come you don't have a documentation component
to choose for bug reports?)

For both gcc 3.4(.4) and 4.0(.1), under IA-64 options, your documentation states:

"-mtune-arch=cpu-type
    Tune the instruction scheduling for a particular CPU, Valid values are
itanium, itanium1, merced, itanium2, and mckinley."

The correct option is specified as -mtune=cpu-type, as is noted here (under the
IA-64 heading):

http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.4/changes.html

"Tuning code for the Itanium 2 processor has been added. The generation of code
tuned for Itanium 2 (option -mtune=itanium2) is enabled by default now. To
generate code tuned for Itanium 1 the option -mtune=itanium1 should be used."

Regards,

David H. Gutteridge

Because that would not make sense as there is a keyword for documentation and documentation 
belongs to the component maintainer.
