On the doc side, things are fine.
Just a suggestion or two:
+Produce compressed debug sections in DWARF format, if that is supported.
Supported by what?
"doesn't" -> "does not", especially given the emphasis we want to make
here.
And could the "If the linker doesn't support writing compressed debug
sections, the option is rejected. Otherwise, if the assembler doesn't
support them, @option{-gz} is silently ignored when producing object
files." be moved to the very end, or is this only applicable to the
case where no type has been specified?
