You can get this with info documentation in two ways: You can either get the html version of the documentation (texinfo can be converted to html). Or you can cat all the various info files into one big one: zcat /usr/share/info/gcc* ./gcc.info and then you can just search through gcc.info with whatever text tool you like.
