Also, the manual still contains the two paragraphs that followed the 
description of those options:

  These two options are intended to be removed someday, once
  they have helped determine the efficacy of various
  approaches to improving loop optimizations.

  Please contact @w{@email{gcc@@gcc.gnu.org}}, and describe how use of
  these options affects the performance of your production code.
  Examples of code that runs @emph{slower} when these options are
  @emph{enabled} are very valuable.
