Bug#171748: gcc-3.2: GCC doesn't accept the -a option

["Paul Smith" <pausmith@nortelnetworks.com>]

Package: gcc-3.2
Version: 1:3.2.1-0pre3
Severity: normal

Using GCC 3.2 with -a gives this error:

  gcc-3.2 -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" -DLIBDIR=\"/usr/local/lib\" -DINCLUDEDIR=\"/usr/local/include\" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -g -pg -a -c ar.c
  cc1: unrecognized option `-a'

Using the same options with GCC 2.95 or GCC 3.0 works fine.  And, the
Info pages in gcc-3.2-doc package still list -a as a valid option.
