System: Linux localhost.localdomain 2.4.7-10 #1 Thu Sep 6 17:27:27 EDT 2001 i686 unknown
Architecture: i686

	
host: i686-pc-linux-gnu
build: i686-pc-linux-gnu
target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
configured with: /home/nick/src/gcc-3.1/configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-system-zlib
>Description:
	cc1 in gcc-3.1 does not recognise the -a option.
	The -a option is documented in gcc 3.1's info files.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Invoke gcc with -a:
	$ /usr/local/bin/gcc -pg -g -a -c hw.c 
	cc1: unrecognized option `-a'
>Fix:
	It may be that -a has been removed, in which case this is actually a
	documentation bug, in which case references to -a should be removed
	from gcc and gprof's documentation
	Else I don't know what the fix is.

State-Changed-When: Fri Dec 13 06:51:01 2002
State-Changed-Why:
    The option "-a" has been removed indeed.
    The (hopefully) last remainders of documentation were
    removed from gcc 3.2.1.
