Or, in the case of GCC's configure script, look at GCC's build documentation. If you really want to know if other options are supported, your best bet would be to actually look at the configure script itself (it's a bit complicated, though, so you need to be brave to do it...).

This is a little off topic for the gcc list but I will give it a go. configure is build from configure.in by a program called autoconf. The programmer that writes configure.in is responsible for documenting the extra switches he implements so there is no standard set in use except those defined in the autoconf manual. Regarding you comment about apache, this is probably misleading because configure does NOT check whether you have specified invalid options, this can be frustrating at times when you make a simple typo. For a better answer please look up a mailing list for autoconf. -- Thanks KenF OpenOffice.org developer
