Can you please update http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.0/changes.html with also a

was.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention - it will be taken care of in the next time slot (i.e., the coming weekend :-).

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

Ugh - I will not even attempt to dig up an explanation for this oversight; I'm sorry. Thanks, Joseph.
