GNU compiler tools documentation has always been a problem. You can: A) Get superficial clues from the source code and header files, B) Practice some simple programs and experiment, C) Buy a hitachi kit that comes with a free cygnus CD (has lots more documentation and examples, but not everything), or D) Buy a support contract (not always affordable, especially for someone just trying to 'get the hang of it').
