The option was called 'rtd', because that was the original m68k
instruction for popping the stack in the callee; see here:

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/M680x0-Options.html#index-mrtd-1516

For x86, it's really just to force the "stdcall" calling convention, but
gcc apparently decided to recycle the already-existing option name.

So the help text could be changed to "Use the stdcall calling convention
for all functions", for example?

That is, unless somebody is secretly working on a m68k backend. ;)
