Willam Bader just asked me about backporting OpenServer support to GCC
2.7. I cringed and asked why. "So I can use bounds checking", he
answered. I remembered seeing bounds checking and stack checking going
into the tree so I started to slime him with an RTFM. Unfortunately,
-fbounds-check isn't in TFM in the current GCC tree.
$ grep bounds-check *texi* toplev.c
toplev.c: {"bounds-check", &flag_bounds_check, 1,
$
Did we intentionally get a user-visible flag that wasn't documented or
is this an oversight?
