In the man(ual) page for gcc-4.7 (i.e., man gcc-4.7) the description for the Transactional Memory switch (-fgnu-tm) is missing some text. It reads:

-fgnu-tm
           When the option -fgnu-tm is specified, the compiler will generate code for the Linux variant
           of Intel's current Transactional Memory ABI specification document (Revision 1.1, May 6 2009).
           This is an experimental feature whose interface may change in future versions of GCC, as the
           official specification changes. Please note that not all architectures are supported for this
           feature.

           For more information on GCC's support for transactional memory,

           Note that the transactional memory feature is not supported with non-call exceptions
           (-fnon-call-exceptions).

Notice that on the second paragraph, it says "For more information on GCC's support for transactional memory," but it never finishes that sentence, nor does it include the reference to where one can find more info on GCC's suport for Transactional Memory.
