Title:
  gcc-4.7 incomplete description for -fgnu-tm

Status in gcc-4.7 package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in gcc-4.7 package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In the man(ual) page for gcc-4.7 (i.e., man gcc-4.7) the description
  for the Transactional Memory switch (-fgnu-tm) is missing some text.
  It reads:

  -fgnu-tm
             When the option -fgnu-tm is specified, the compiler will generate code for the Linux variant of Intel's current Transactional Memory ABI specification document (Revision 1.1, May 6 2009). This is an experimental feature whose interface may change in future versions of GCC, as the official specification changes.  Please note that not all architectures are supported for this feature.

             For more information on GCC's support for transactional
  memory,

             Note that the transactional memory feature is not supported
  with non-call exceptions (-fnon-call-exceptions).

  Notice that on the second paragraph, it says "For more information on
  GCC's support for transactional memory," but it never finishes that
  sentence, nor does it include the reference to where one can find more
  info on GCC's suport for Transactional Memory.
