Hi Matthias, and thanks for the time you're spending on gcc's and
python's transitions!
Now that we know gcc 4.1 is going to be the default version in Etch,
maybe it is time to get rid of this old bug.
Here is a cpp.1 based on the help output of cpp (and on the help2man
command) that may be considered as a free interim replacement until we
have an exhaustive free documentation for GCC.
Do you think it will help? Do you want me to work on other manpages
from the --help output?
I can imagine that you are very busy currently, but please just drop a
note to let me know if I can work on it during the current BSP in Paris.
Regards,
