Not that I know of.  You can get a pretty good guess by simply running
gcc --target-help to see which target specific options are supported.

Not that I know of.  But if you can run it at all, you must be on the
right host.

I'm sure you know that if you received a binary copy of gcc without
accompanying source code, you are entitled to ask the person who gave
it to you to provide the source code.  That is the condition under
which gcc is distributed.

The -D option is always supported.  It just defines a preprocessor
symbol, and does not affect code generation.
