[Bug other/31356] New: gcc --help=<language> option has problems in the output header line.

[Bug other/31356] New: gcc --help=<language> option has problems in the output header line.

[brooks at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Consider the following output:

--------------------------------------------
> ~/bin-trunk/bin/gcc --help=fortran
The following options are supported by, amoung others, the language :
  -I                          This switch lacks documentation
[...]
--------------------------------------------

The language name seems to be missing from the first line.  (Also, "amoung" is
an obvious typo.)

Hi Brooks,

> One difference that I see between our patches -- you have:

Not really, just a hunch.  I felt that the first language name set would
probably be the most "mainstream" of the possible language names that might be
displayed.  Of course I did not actually go so far as to check this, and your
version of the patch is simpler and therefore better.

Cheers
  Nick
