+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+# AX_GCC_OPTION(OPTION,EXTRA-OPTIONS,TEST-PROGRAM,ACTION-IF-SUCCESSFUL,ACTION-IF-NOT-SUCCESFUL)
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+# AX_GCC_OPTION checks wheter gcc accepts the passed OPTION. If it accepts
+# the OPTION then ACTION-IF-SUCCESSFUL will be executed, otherwise
+# ACTION-IF-UNSUCCESSFUL.
+#
+# NOTE: This macro will be obsoleted by AX_C_CHECK_FLAG AX_CXX_CHECK_FLAG,
+# AX_CPP_CHECK_FLAG, AX_CXXCPP_CHECK_FLAG and AX_LD_CHECK_FLAG.
+#
+# A typical usage should be the following one:
+#
+# AX_GCC_OPTION([-fomit-frame-pointer],[],[],[
+# AC_MSG_NOTICE([The option is supported])],[
+# AC_MSG_NOTICE([No luck this time])
+# ])
+#
+# The macro doesn't discriminate between languages so, if you are testing
+# for an option that works for C++ but not for C you should use '-x c++'
+# as EXTRA-OPTIONS:
+#
+# AX_GCC_OPTION([-fno-rtti],[-x c++],[],[ ... ],[ ... ])
+#
+# OPTION is tested against the following code:
+#
+# int main()
+# {
+# return 0;
+# }
+#
+# The optional TEST-PROGRAM comes handy when the default main() is not
+# suited for the option being checked
+#
+# So, if you need to test for -fstrict-prototypes option you should
+# probably use the macro as follows:
+#
+# AX_GCC_OPTION([-fstrict-prototypes],[-x c++],[
+# int main(int argc, char ** argv)
+# {
+# (void) argc;
+# (void) argv;
+#
+# return 0;
+# }
+# ],[ ... ],[ ... ])
+#
+# Note that the macro compiles but doesn't link the test program so it is
+# not suited for checking options that are passed to the linker, like:
+#
+# -Wl,-L<a-library-path>
+#
+# In order to avoid such kind of problems you should think about usinguse
+# the AX_*_CHECK_FLAG family macros
