 How about we just drop the manual pages, then?

 Right now, we're in the situation where the manual is deceptive.  If the
 manual talks about GPLv2, a user might rely on that.  We should be
 making the license unambiguous so that users do not feel deceived.  If
 we don't have the bandwidth to mess with all the bits required here,
 then maybe we should just stop providing man pages.  For something as
 big and complex as GCC, info/HTML/PDF all seem like better media.

IMHO manpages for the driver(s) with option summaries are a good thing to
have and I'd hate to lose them.

Well, would anyone like to volunteer to update our manual, then?

I think that this is a critical defect in the current sourcebase; do we have a PR open? If not, I can file one.

Thanks,
