Description Rong-En Fan 2004-10-03 18:50:21 UTC 
	The GCC manuals (gcc.1, cpp1.1, gcov.1) stay at 3.2.1
	while the current GCC in RELENG_5 and -current is 3.4.2.

Note that the FSF no longer maintains manual pages for gcc and friends, so the 
problem is likely with the vendor (i.e. FSF) rather than FreeBSD.

Hi,

Digging into GCC's CVS repository, the latest version of gcc.1 was dated
almost three years ago for gcc-3.0.4. Since the current gcc.1 in
FreeBSD's src tree is for version 3.2.2, I suppose that it couldn't be
from the vendor. Can we know how we had managed to have a gcc.1 for
3.2.2 and do the same thing for 3.4.2?

I *think* we only maintain gcc.1 because a lot of people like
manual pages over the 'info' commands.  Now to figure out how
we can update the manual page (if needed).

Known problem but no one has come up with a good solution yet.

Manpages have been synced in 7.0-CURRENT and will be synced in the future. 
I'll bring the new manpages to RELENG_6 shortly.
