Documentation bug: gcc(1) in gcc-core 3.4.4-1

[Adam Buchbinder <adam dot buchbinder at gmail dot com>]

There is leftover markup from the texinfo source in the manual page
for gcc(1) in the current version. The file is included in the package
gcc-core version 3.4.4-1. Specifically, search for @pxref and @anchor,
which shouldn't be showing up in the output.

Also, the documentation for -print-multi-lib seems to be mangled:

-print-multi-lib
    Print the mapping from multilib directory names to compiler
    switches that enable them.  The directory name is separated from
    the switches by ;, and each switch starts with an @} instead of the
    @samp{-, without spaces between multiple switches.  This is sup-
    posed to ease shell-processing.

The troff source for this part reads as follows.

.IP "\fB\-print\-multi\-lib\fR" 4
.IX Item "-print-multi-lib"
Print the mapping from multilib directory names to compiler switches
that enable them.  The directory name is separated from the switches by
\&\fB;\fR, and each switch starts with an \fB@} instead of the
\&\f(CB@samp\fB{\-\fR, without spaces between multiple switches.  This
is supposed to
ease shell\-processing.

Should this go upstream to the gcc folks?
