While I agree that -fgraphite does not make sense as user option, I'm
not sure about -floop-block and -floop-interchange. I could imagine that
some users would like to play with this option (though I have no real
opinion about this).

I might have misunderstood Harsha, but I think he said that it only does
not improve the performance if used by itself, i.e. combined with other
options it is/might be profitable. Thus one may leave it in as
undocumented option. (I have no opinion about this and I did no tests, I
only wanted to stress the "by itself".)

In any case, those changes should also be documented at
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.4/changes.html, which currently lists all options.
