Man pages are out of date.  They rarely get updated; the texinfo is more accurate
for compiler switches.

-mbig-switch is a valid option for gcc & g++, so I'm not sure why it's giving
you an error.  Are you sure you got the "m" in front of "big-switch"?

OK.  That helps.

Are you compiling with optimization?

The only ways I'm aware of that you can our into out of range branches are
via huge switch statements, or in very rare cases with huge programs that you
compile with -O.
