Hi Brooks,

  I do not think that this is a bug, but rather a feature.  The command line
options are all still in the "--help -v" otuput, they are just in different
locations.  For example the -Wall option is now listed in the 'language related
options' list rather than the Fortran list, because it is supported by more
than one language front end.  (Note: you need to have specified -Wextra on the
gcc command line before --help in order to see the -Wall option being listed. 
This is because the -Wall has no description associated with it).

  As far as I can tell there are no missing options in the help output, it is
just that their location in the output has changed, with all the options shared
by more than one language front end being listed together in one lump, rather
than being listed multiple times, once per supported language.

Cheers
  Nick
