Note that the -V option is broken in recent versions of GCC, and there
are no plans to fix it:

Subject: gcc compilation option -b
I was going through the gcc documentation where I came across following
option
Target Options
-b machine -V version
I want to use this option. But I am not very clear about the option.
Because
according to my knowlege the machine is fixed while configuring gcc.
Then
how come we can still use this option. Does that mean -b is specified
for
choosing target from specific family for which gcc is configured ?
Please
solve my doubt.
If it is true then I want to generate object file for i386 as well as
i8086(I mean two different processors from Intel family) using same
gcc. Is it possible ? Which string should i use for "machine" after -b ?
Thanks,
Bansidhar
