\&\fB\-mips1\fR is an alias for \fB\-march=r3000\fR, \fB\-mips2\fR is an
alias for \fB\-march=r6000\fR, \fB\-mips3\fR is an alias for
\&\fB\-march=r4000\fR and \fB\-mips4\fR is an alias for \fB\-march=r8000\fR.
\&\fB\-mips5\fR, \fB\-mips32\fR, \fB\-mips32r2\fR, \fB\-mips64\fR, and
\&\fB\-mips64r2\fR
correspond to generic
\&\fB\s-1MIPS\s0 V\fR, \fB\s-1MIPS32\s0\fR, \fB\s-1MIPS32\s0 Release 2\fR, \fB\s-1MIPS64\s0\fR,

.IP "\fB\-mpdr\fR" 4
.IX Item "-mpdr"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-mno\-pdr\fR" 4
.IX Item "-mno-pdr"
.PD
Control generation of \f(CW\*(C`.pdr\*(C'\fR sections.
.IP "\fB\-mgp32\fR" 4
.IX Item "-mgp32"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-mfp32\fR" 4
.IX Item "-mfp32"
.PD
The register sizes are normally inferred from the \s-1ISA\s0 and \s-1ABI\s0, but these
flags force a certain group of registers to be treated as 32 bits wide at
all times.  \fB\-mgp32\fR controls the size of general-purpose registers
and \fB\-mfp32\fR controls the size of floating-point registers.
.IP "\fB\-mips16\fR" 4
.IX Item "-mips16"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-no\-mips16\fR" 4
.IX Item "-no-mips16"
.PD
Generate code for the \s-1MIPS\s0 16 processor.  This is equivalent to putting
\&\f(CW\*(C`.set mips16\*(C'\fR at the start of the assembly file.  \fB\-no\-mips16\fR
turns off this option.
.IP "\fB\-mips3d\fR" 4
.IX Item "-mips3d"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-no\-mips3d\fR" 4
.IX Item "-no-mips3d"
.PD

.IP "\fB\-mdmx\fR" 4
.IX Item "-mdmx"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-no\-mdmx\fR" 4
.IX Item "-no-mdmx"
.PD
Generate code for the \s-1MDMX\s0 Application Specific Extension.
This tells the assembler to accept \s-1MDMX\s0 instructions.
\&\fB\-no\-mdmx\fR turns off this option.
.IP "\fB\-\-construct\-floats\fR" 4
.IX Item "--construct-floats"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-\-no\-construct\-floats\fR" 4
.IX Item "--no-construct-floats"
.PD
The \fB\-\-no\-construct\-floats\fR option disables the construction of
double width floating point constants by loading the two halves of the
value into the two single width floating point registers that make up
the double width register.  By default \fB\-\-construct\-floats\fR is
selected, allowing construction of these floating point constants.
.IP "\fB\-\-emulation=\fR\fIname\fR" 4
.IX Item "--emulation=name"
This option causes \fBas\fR to emulate \fBas\fR configured
for some other target, in all respects, including output format (choosing
between \s-1ELF\s0 and \s-1ECOFF\s0 only), handling of pseudo-opcodes which may generate
debugging information or store symbol table information, and default
endianness.  The available configuration names are: \fBmipsecoff\fR,
\&\fBmipself\fR, \fBmipslecoff\fR, \fBmipsbecoff\fR, \fBmipslelf\fR,
\&\fBmipsbelf\fR.  The first two do not alter the default endianness from that
of the primary target for which the assembler was configured; the others change
the default to little\- or big-endian as indicated by the \fBb\fR or \fBl\fR
in the name.  Using \fB\-EB\fR or \fB\-EL\fR will override the endianness
selection in any case.
.Sp
This option is currently supported only when the primary target
\&\fBas\fR is configured for is a \s-1MIPS\s0 \s-1ELF\s0 or \s-1ECOFF\s0 target.
Furthermore, the primary target or others specified with
\&\fB\-\-enable\-targets=...\fR at configuration time must include support for
the other format, if both are to be available.  For example, the Irix 5
configuration includes support for both.
.Sp
Eventually, this option will support more configurations, with more
fine-grained control over the assembler's behavior, and will be supported for
more processors.
.IP "\fB\-nocpp\fR" 4
.IX Item "-nocpp"
\&\fBas\fR ignores this option.  It is accepted for compatibility with
the native tools.
.IP "\fB\-\-trap\fR" 4

.IX Item "--no-trap"
.IP "\fB\-\-break\fR" 4
.IX Item "--break"
.IP "\fB\-\-no\-break\fR" 4
.IX Item "--no-break"
.PD
Control how to deal with multiplication overflow and division by zero.
\&\fB\-\-trap\fR or \fB\-\-no\-break\fR (which are synonyms) take a trap exception
(and only work for Instruction Set Architecture level 2 and higher);
\&\fB\-\-break\fR or \fB\-\-no\-trap\fR (also synonyms, and the default) take a
break exception.
.IP "\fB\-n\fR" 4
.IX Item "-n"
When this option is used, \fBas\fR will issue a warning every
time it generates a nop instruction from a macro.
.PP
The following options are available when as is configured for

.IP "\fB\-nojsri2bsr\fR" 4
.IX Item "-nojsri2bsr"
.PD

.IP "\fB\-sifilter\fR" 4
.IX Item "-sifilter"
.PD 0
.IP "\fB\-nosifilter\fR" 4
.IX Item "-nosifilter"
.PD
Enable or disable the silicon filter behaviour.  By default this is disabled.

Alter jump instructions for long displacements.
.IP "\fB\-mcpu=[210|340]\fR" 4

The following options are available when as is configured for
an Xtensa processor.
.IP "\fB\-\-text\-section\-literals | \-\-no\-text\-section\-literals\fR" 4
.IX Item "--text-section-literals | --no-text-section-literals"
With \fB\-\-text\-section\-literals\fR, literal pools are interspersed
in the text section.  The default is
\&\fB\-\-no\-text\-section\-literals\fR, which places literals in a
separate section in the output file.  These options only affect literals
referenced via PC-relative \f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR instructions; literals for
absolute mode \f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR instructions are handled separately.
.IP "\fB\-\-absolute\-literals | \-\-no\-absolute\-literals\fR" 4
.IX Item "--absolute-literals | --no-absolute-literals"
Indicate to the assembler whether \f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR instructions use absolute
or PC-relative addressing.  The default is to assume absolute addressing
if the Xtensa processor includes the absolute \f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR addressing
option.  Otherwise, only the PC-relative \f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR mode can be used.
.IP "\fB\-\-target\-align | \-\-no\-target\-align\fR" 4
.IX Item "--target-align | --no-target-align"
Enable or disable automatic alignment to reduce branch penalties at the
expense of some code density.  The default is \fB\-\-target\-align\fR.
.IP "\fB\-\-longcalls | \-\-no\-longcalls\fR" 4
.IX Item "--longcalls | --no-longcalls"
Enable or disable transformation of call instructions to allow calls
across a greater range of addresses.  The default is
\&\fB\-\-no\-longcalls\fR.
.IP "\fB\-\-transform | \-\-no\-transform\fR" 4
.IX Item "--transform | --no-transform"
Enable or disable all assembler transformations of Xtensa instructions.
The default is \fB\-\-transform\fR;
\&\fB\-\-no\-transform\fR should be used only in the rare cases when the
instructions must be exactly as specified in the assembly source.
