Hi,
I've noticed that the description of -fcommon that gets printed
with "gcc -v --help" is exactly the opposite of what this
option actually does.
With -fcommon, different global variables w/o initial value
are plced in common blocks, similar to fortran named common
blocks, while with -fno-common, those variables are placed
in the .bss segment.
I believe the description is describing the "flag_no_common",
but that is not what the user needs to know.
Bootstrapped and reg-tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.
Is it OK for trunk?
Good catch! Yes, this is fine.
