I tend to agree with Nate's posting to bug-gcc, we probably should document
this in egcs. I mean the switch has been valid since at least gcc 2 if not gcc
1.35 and beyond.

The title pretty much says it. GCC's `-Q' option, which prints each
function's name as it is compiled, and prints some time statistics at the
end, isn't mentioned in the documentation, at least for GCC 2.7.2.1. Here is
a patch which adds it.

We do not want to go change ever reference to egcs; gcc2 is a component
included in egcs -- thus most of the text is still relavent.
One could argue the version # should change, but what should it change to?

gcc.info-1 has an introduction:
Introduction
************
This manual documents how to run, install and port the GNU compiler,
as well as its new features and incompatibilities, and how to report
bugs. It corresponds to GNU CC version 2.7.2.
probably, it should refer to egcs ?
next, there are TONS of gcc2.7.2 referencies in
g77 info - how ot set up g77-0.5.21 on top
of gcc 2.7.2.x etc.
regards
OK

If the manual is not the FSF version, it must not lie and say that
it is. So there has to be an egcs reference (unless the manual
is the same as the forthcoming 2.8.0 manual).
Possibilities:
It corresponds to GNU CC version egcs-1.0.
It corresponds to GNU CC version 2.8.0 (plus egcs features).

OK. I jus did a global grep and came up with about a dozen files that
need to be looked at. Hopefully this won't take too long; I'd like to
spin, catch some zzzs and post the announcement first thing in the
morning.
