If there is no help from the documentation then You can ask in gcc-help
mailing list (search archives at first: http://gcc.gnu.org/lists.html).

I myself usually avoid using constructions specific to GCC only even if
I do not use different compilers. The exception is 
'__attribute__((format(...'
which allows to have printf or scanf style argument list cheking.

The message was sent to mailing list, so maybe somebody who can and want
it will read the message. I'm afraid however that the probability of this
happening is rather small unfortunatelly.
