At least all the GNU tools should follow the GNU Coding Guidelines:
https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/_002d_002dhelp.html#g_t_002d_002dhelp
Thus, the correct behavior is to use stdout for --help.
However, the output of "-v" is not "verbose help". You get the same output
independently of --help. It is simply verbose diagnostics about what GCC is
doing and they should go to stderr. Thus, this is not a bug.
If you find something in the output of --help= or --version that is printed to
stderr, please re-open.
