I believe these are only used for arcane purposes during the build of
GCC itself.  That doesn't mean they shouldn't be documented, but
perhaps invoke.texi is not the best place.

I could of course be mistaken about this.

This dumps information about function prototypes to a file argument.
I believe its primary use is while setting up fixproto.  It could be
useful outside GCC, but the format of the output should be documented
as well as the option itself.

I think it's C specific.

This is for internal use, mostly; the driver passes it to cc1 when
it's fed an .i file.  It'll be mentioned in cpp.texi after I check in
the rewrite (today, I hope).  Should it also appear in invoke.texi?
