            Bug ID: 58973
           Summary: Small english manpage grammar fixes
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.2
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: other
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org

Hello,

As seen in 2925 / 2930 of ./gcc/doc/invoke.texi (among other places):

The phrase "Make all warnings into errors." could be better said as
"Turn all warnings into errors." or similar. The phrasing seems a skitch
awkward.

(The same applies to documents in 4.7, 4.6, 4.4, maybe other branches, too.)

The original bug report is at:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=700476

Below is a patch:
