As far as I know, it was introduced in GCC 4.2 revision 108489.

Also:

$ svn log svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/gcc-4_2-branch | grep -n
-e "Walways.true"
63424:  * gcc.dg/20031012-1.c: Add -Walways-true option.
63978:  * doc/invoke.texi (Warning Options): Document -Walways-true being
64532:  * common.opt (Walways-true): New option.

while

$ svn log svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/gcc-4_1-branch | grep -n
-e "Walways.true"

shows nothing.

Cheers,

Manuel.
