That's because the FSF favour info. Try info gcc.

On many platforms including x86 you can use the gcc __attribute__ extension
to pack structs (or, strictly, individual structure members).  EMX
implemented the #pragma for (semi-)compatibility with other DOS/OS2
compilers.

__attribute__ is ugly, though. Consider it a discouragement of use.
