Yeah, I agree. What I'd like to see is "gcj --help" say something like 
"Use --help -f for help on front-end options, --help -m for 
target-specific options, --help -l for linking options" etc. The "--help 
-f" or whatever would only show options which are applicable to the 
given front end, so for gcj it would get you the generic options as well 
as the Java specific ones, but not the C and C++ specific options. This 
could greatly improve the usability of the driver!
