#### IA-64 Options

These are the `-m` options defined for the Intel IA-64 architecture.

`-mbig-endian`
  Generate code for a big endian target. This is the default for HP-UX.
`-mlittle-endian`
  Generate code for a little endian target. This is the default for AIX5 and Linux.
`-mgnu-as`
`-mno-gnu-as`
  Generate (or don't) code for the GNU assembler. This is the default.
`-mgnu-ld`
`-mno-gnu-ld`
  Generate (or don't) code for the GNU linker. This is the default.
`-mno-pic`
  Generate code that does not use a global pointer register. The result is not position independent code, and violates the IA-64 ABI.
`-mvolatile-asm-stop`
`-mno-volatile-asm-stop`
  Generate (or don't) a stop bit immediately before and after volatile asm statements.
`-mb-step`
  Generate code that works around Itanium B step errata.
`-mregister-names`
`-mno-register-names`
  Generate (or don't) `in`, `loc`, and `out` register names for the stacked registers. This may make assembler output more readable.
`-mno-sdata`
`-msdata`
  Disable (or enable) optimizations that use the small data section. This may be useful for working around optimizer bugs.
`-mconstant-gp`
  Generate code that uses a single constant global pointer value. This is useful when compiling kernel code.
`-mauto-pic`
  Generate code that is self-relocatable. This implies `-mconstant-gp`. This is useful when compiling firmware code.
`-minline-float-divide-min-latency`
  Generate code for inline divides of floating point values using the minimum latency algorithm.
`-minline-float-divide-max-throughput`
  Generate code for inline divides of floating point values using the maximum throughput algorithm.
`-minline-int-divide-min-latency`
  Generate code for inline divides of integer values using the minimum latency algorithm.
`-minline-int-divide-max-throughput`
  Generate code for inline divides of integer values using the maximum throughput algorithm.
`-mno-dwarf2-asm`
`-mdwarf2-asm`
  Don't (or do) generate assembler code for the DWARF2 line number debugging info. This may be useful when not using the GNU assembler.
`-mfixed-range=`register-range``
  Generate code treating the given register range as fixed registers. A fixed register is one that the register allocator can not use. This is useful when compiling kernel code. A register range is specified as two registers separated by a dash. Multiple register ranges can be specified separated by a comma.
