 - <dt><code>-mabi=<var>abi</var></code></dt>
 - <dd><p>Specify which ABI the source code uses.  The recognized arguments
 - are: <code>ilp32</code> and <code>lp64</code>, which decides the generated object
 - file in ELF32 and ELF64 format respectively.  The default is <code>lp64</code>.

 - <dt><code>-mcpu=<var>processor</var>[+<var>extension</var>…]</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>This option specifies the target processor.  The assembler will issue an error
 - message if an attempt is made to assemble an instruction which will not execute
 - on the target processor.  The following processor names are recognized:
 - <code>cortex-a34</code>,
 - <code>cortex-a35</code>,
 - <code>cortex-a53</code>,
 - <code>cortex-a55</code>,
 - <code>cortex-a57</code>,
 - <code>cortex-a65</code>,
 - <code>cortex-a65ae</code>,
 - <code>cortex-a72</code>,
 - <code>cortex-a73</code>,
 - <code>cortex-a75</code>,
 - <code>cortex-a76</code>,
 - <code>cortex-a76ae</code>,
 - <code>cortex-a77</code>,
 - <code>ares</code>,
 - <code>exynos-m1</code>,
 - <code>falkor</code>,

 - <code>neoverse-e1</code>,
 - <code>qdf24xx</code>,
 - <code>saphira</code>,
 - <code>thunderx</code>,
 - <code>vulcan</code>,
 - <code>xgene1</code>
 - and
 - <code>xgene2</code>.
 - The special name <code>all</code> may be used to allow the assembler to accept
 - instructions valid for any supported processor, including all optional
 - extensions.
 - </p>
 - <p>In addition to the basic instruction set, the assembler can be told to
 - accept, or restrict, various extension mnemonics that extend the
 - processor.  See <a href="AArch64-Extensions.html#AArch64-Extensions">AArch64 Extensions</a>.
 - </p>
 - <p>If some implementations of a particular processor can have an
 - extension, then then those extensions are automatically enabled.
 - Consequently, you will not normally have to specify any additional
 - extensions.

 - <dt><code>-march=<var>architecture</var>[+<var>extension</var>…]</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>This option specifies the target architecture.  The assembler will
 - issue an error message if an attempt is made to assemble an
 - instruction which will not execute on the target architecture.  The
 - following architecture names are recognized: <code>armv8-a</code>,
 - <code>armv8.1-a</code>, <code>armv8.2-a</code>, <code>armv8.3-a</code>, <code>armv8.4-a</code>
 - <code>armv8.5-a</code>, and <code>armv8.6-a</code>.
 - </p>
 - <p>If both <samp>-mcpu</samp> and <samp>-march</samp> are specified, the
 - assembler will use the setting for <samp>-mcpu</samp>.  If neither are
 - specified, the assembler will default to <samp>-mcpu=all</samp>.
 - </p>
 - <p>The architecture option can be extended with the same instruction set
 - extension options as the <samp>-mcpu</samp> option.  Unlike
 - <samp>-mcpu</samp>, extensions are not always enabled by default,
 - See <a href="AArch64-Extensions.html#AArch64-Extensions">AArch64 Extensions</a>.

 - <a name="index-_002dmverbose_002derror-command_002dline-option_002c-AArch64"></a>

 - <dt><code>-mverbose-error</code></dt>
 - <dd><p>This option enables verbose error messages for AArch64 gas.  This option
 - is enabled by default.
