Most documentation is in the source code itself.  There is a high-level
description of the optimization process in the project page
(http://gcc.gnu.org/projects/tree-ssa/).  After the GCC summit next
week, I will post the tree SSA paper and slides in my home page.

Both mainline and tree-ssa operate in the same way.  If you use
-funit-at-a-time, then compilation proceeds in call graph order.
