The --enable-checking values are described briefly in gcc/config.in,
here's a link for quick access:
http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/trunk/gcc/config.in?revision=120315&view=markup

I think a patch adding descriptions to the docs would be an improvement.
Would you like to submit one?

I could, but the only thing I would do would be something like:

  The meaning of these flags can be inferred from the comments in
  gcc/config.in.

Of course, then anyone modifying gcc/config.in would have to make
sure that those comments remain there or, if they're moved somewhere
else, then http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html would have to be
modified to reflect the new location.  I guess that means config.in
would also have to have a comment indicating that configure.html
depends on it.

Does this sound reasonable?
