--gen-opt-level option gone?

SPRU514D mentions the --gen-opt-level compiler option:

When you invoke the compiler with the --opt_level=3 option, you can use the --gen_opt_info option to
create an optimization information file that you can read. The number following the option denotes the
level (0, 1, or 2). The resulting file has an .nfo extension. Use Table 3-3 to select the appropriate level to
append to the option.

But when I run the compiler (v6.0.2) I get this:

>> WARNING: invalid compiler option --gen_opt_level=1 (ignored)

What's going on? Has it been removed? How can I get optimization information?
