Indeed so. I forgot about that. But going to do it I notice that the
summary @gccoptlist does not contain all the -mcall-* options listed in the
table, and the table doesn't contain all the options actually supported by
config/rs6000/sysv4.h (missing are aixdesc, freebsd, i960-old). The table
(though not the summary) lists -mcall-solaris, which AFAIK does not exist
at all. Also, all the descriptions for -mcall-* options in the table seem
to be misleading. That is, each says "On System V.4 and embedded PowerPC
systems compile code for the XXX system." But in fact, these options are
supported by configurations that are neither "System V.4" nor "embedded".
So, I can easily supply the four line patch to document -mcall-gnu
consistent with how -mcall-linux is documented (misleading description in
the table, not mention in the summary). But I don't particular want to be
the one to clean up all these problems in that part of the documentation.
(I don't even have a PowerPC machine!)
