How does one obtain/install/trigger this plugin?  Where are more details
documented?  This is information I'd add here.

The validator probably is going to complain that this needs to be within
<p>...</p> markers.

In HTML, I'd just say GDB-GCC (one dash).

I'm good with this patch modulo these suggestion, but perhaps Jeff or
Tom have some further input?

What happened with this? I don't see any libcc1 in the gcc repository
and this patch was never committed.

Cheers,

Manuel.

It was discussed internally and the patches are going to be updated, rebased
and later checked in.


Thanks,
