+@item @samp{bootstrap-debug-big}
+Rather than comparing stripped object files, as in
+@code{bootstrap-debug}, this option saves internal compiler dumps
+during stage2 and stage3 and compares them as well, which helps catch
+additional potential problems, but at a great cost in terms of disk
+space.  It can be specified in addition to @samp{bootstrap-debug}.
+
+@item @samp{bootstrap-debug-lean}
+This option saves disk space compared with @code{bootstrap-debug-big},
+but at the expense of some recompilation.  Instead of saving the dumps
+of stage2 and stage3 until the final compare, it uses
+@option{-fcompare-debug} to generate, compare and remove the dumps
+during stage3, repeating the compilation that already took place in
+stage2, whose dumps were not saved.
+
+@item @samp{bootstrap-debug-lib}
+This option tests executable code invariance over debug information
+generation on target libraries, just like @code{bootstrap-debug-lean}
+tests it on host programs.  It builds stage3 libraries with
+@option{-fcompare-debug}, and it can be used along with any of the
+@code{bootstrap-debug} options above.
+
+There aren't @code{-lean} or @code{-big} counterparts to this option
+because most libraries are only build in stage3, so bootstrap compares
+would not get significant coverage.  Moreover, the few libraries built
+in stage2 are used in stage3 host programs, so we wouldn't want to
+compile stage2 libraries with different options for comparison purposes.
+
+@item @samp{bootstrap-debug-ckovw}
+Arranges for error messages to be issued if the compiler built on any
+stage is run without the option @option{-fcompare-debug}.  This is
+useful to verify the full @option{-fcompare-debug} testing coverage.  It
+must be used along with @code{bootstrap-debug-lean} and
+@code{bootstrap-debug-lib}.
+
+@item @samp{bootstrap-time}
+Arranges for the run time of each program started by the GCC driver,
+built in any stage, to be logged to @file{time.log}, in the top level of
