>Description:

gcc still has -mno-move option documented in the manpage but if you
view the GCC GNATS database (PR optimization/496) you'll see that it
should not still be documented as it's apparently not a working
option. Beside the manpage doesn't explain what it does anyway.

Until the gcc folks get around to fixing their compiler to not accept
broken options should we remove the offending -mno-move option from
the manpage (a small patch to the 4.3-RELEASE manpage is supplied)

>How-To-Repeat:
	man gcc

>Fix:

Here's a patch to the gcc.1 manpage (it's a patch against 
an uncompressed /usr/share/man/en.ISO_8859-1/man1/gcc.1.gz)
