Public bug reported:
The manpage for gcc(1) contains the following:
-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
supposed to ease shell-processing.
I noted this in the Cygwin documentation some years ago:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-12/msg00636.html
It seems that gcc's manpages are generated by a particular toolchain,
and some escape sequences aren't being properly escaped. I'm unsure of
exactly how to proceed, but if I come up with a patch, I'll attach it
here.
