Seems fine to me.

I would write that as:
--error-output-suffix <suffix>
When compiling module M, output messages about the progress
of the compilation to a file named `M.<suffix>`. This includes any
statistics about the performance of compiler passes, if enabled.
The default is for such output to go to standard error.
Also I suggest that the the period between `M` and the suffix be added
by the compiler, rather than the user having to specify it. Similarly
for the others.
The diff is fine otherwise.
Julien.
