           Summary: deprecate -V or update documentation
           Product: gcc
           Version: 3.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: other
        AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org
        ReportedBy: debian-gcc at lists dot debian dot org
                CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org

As -V doesn't work well across major versions, maybe this option should be
documented as deprecated, removed at all, or at least the problems with it's use
described. On the lists people are often advised against the use of -V.
