I have attached a patch for this.

You are correct, this is used for debugging usually by gcc developers,
I use it intensively in debugging and tuning SMS. How can we hide this
parameter from the GCC users and keep it for the developers?
In the meanwhile I didn't add documentation for this parameter to
invoke.texi

Agree.
