[cygnus.bug-gcc] `-Q' switch to GCC is not documented; fix included

[Michael Meissner <meissner at cygnus dot com>]

I tend to agree with Nate's posting to bug-gcc, we probably should document
this in egcs.  I mean the switch has been valid since at least gcc 2 if not gcc
1.35 and beyond.

The title pretty much says it. GCC's `-Q' option, which prints each
function's name as it is compiled, and prints some time statistics at the
end, isn't mentioned in the documentation, at least for GCC 2.7.2.1. Here is
a patch which adds it.
