+@item --param @var{name}=@var{value}
+In some places, GCC uses various constants to control the amount of
+optimization that is done.  For example, GCC will not inline functions
+that contain more that a certain number of instructions.  You can
+control some of these constants on the command-line using the
+@samp{--param} option.  
+
+In each case, the @var{value} is a integer.  The allowable choices for
+@var{name} are given in the following table:
+
+@table @gcctabopt
+@item max-inline-insns
+If an function contains more than this many instructions, it
+will not be inlined.  This option is precisely equivalent to
+@samp{-finline-limit}.
