I guess I didn't make it clear that this is a bug against the gcc _driver_ not
the compiler. I am using gcc _driver_ to invoke gas to assemble an assembler
*source* file. 'gcc -mthumb -c foo.S' shou

Perhaps a precise example would make this clearer.
I have a human-written thumb assembler file. (see attached)
I attempt to assemble it using
arm-elf-gcc -v -g -mthumb -c -o bdidown.o bdidown.S
The following

That's fine, so long as you turn it into a documentation bug and fix the
documentation, as it's an option that's documented as being passed to the
assembler.

>From the GNU Info node for invoking gas:
Usually you do not need to use this `-Wa' mechanism, since many
compiler command-line options are automatically passe

Gas is part of binutils, but the driver is part of gcc, and it *is* a violation
of the principle of least astonishment to have to pass the same option two
different ways through the driver depending on what option

actually, gcc itself says so:
printf (_("\

passed on to the various sub-processes invoked by %s. In order to pass\n\

I doubt there is anyone anywhere who would be able to devine that "various"
meant this subset of the processes and not that.
Further, the sentence that describes the use of '-W' specifically

After consulting the oracle (In the this case ANSI X3.159-1989,) and being
unable to find any information to support the claim that char is always
different type than unsigned char or signed char, I'd like to
