GNU Compiler Collection Documentation

Dear Sir or Madam:
Today I found an error in versions 4.2.1 and 4.3.0 of ?Using the GNU
Compiler Collection?. Both versions have the same error.
The error is at the very end of section 3.2 and is on page 21 of
version 4.2.1 and page 25 of version 4.3.0. The error concerns what
apparently is supposed to be the description of the @file option. Based on
my knowledge of other compilers, it appears that the @file option is
supposed to name a file that contains a list of compiler options. Instead
of such a discussion, there are 16 lines of what is apparently LaTeX source
code. Here is the content of the error.

Please fix this error as soon as possible and replace it with the
proper text.
Also, when you fix this error, please include a complete description
of how the @file option is supposed to work. What is the proper structure
of such a file? Can it include comments? If so, how are those comments
delimited?
Please feel free to contact me at any time with any questions or
concerns that you may have.
Sincerely,
