The man page of GCC is not the correct place to look at:
This man page is not kept up to date except when volun
teers want to maintain it. If you find a discrepancy
between the man page and the software, please check the
Info file, which is the authoritative documentation.
If we find that the things in this man page that are out
of date cause significant confusion or complaints, we will
stop distributing the man page. The alternative, updating
the man page when we update the Info file, is impossible
because the rest of the work of maintaining GNU CC leaves
us no time for that. The GNU project regards man pages as
obsolete and should not let them take time away from other
things.
For complete and current documentation, refer to the Info
file `gcc' or the manual Using and Porting GNU CC (for
version 2.0). Both are made from the Texinfo source file
gcc.texinfo.
