You need a more recent version.  -fdump-translation-unit appeared in 
gcc-3.0.x.

These trees are deliberately incomplete.  This is to prevent people from 
trying to subvert the GPL by feeding the trees into proprietary 
compilers.  This is an inconvenience, but it is FSF policy, and we must 
respect it.

There are additional tree dumping options in more recent gcc versions.
