'info gcc'. If your shell returns, "info: command not found" ask
a friend where it is on your system. If 'info' starts up but
not in the gcc node, ask the installer of gcc why they didn't install
the info pages for gcc. Personally I find the info system much better
than the man system for long complex documents. Can you imagine the
emacs lisp manual in man page format? eek.
