How is -z well established when it wasn't even documented? GCC passing unknown flags to the linker is a misfeature. Warning about it is the very least we should do. While it might be too late for -u, no new option should be added to this list. That said, I would like to see a sane use case for -u, independent of whether it should be warned about or not. I tried to use it in the past and it didn't do the things I expected from it.
