+@kindex -warn-multiple-gp
+@item -warn-multiple-gp
+Warn if multiple global pointer values are required in the output file.
+This is only meaningful for certain processors, such as the Alpha.
+Specifically, some processors put large-valued constants in a special
+section.  A special register (the global pointer) points into the middle
+of this section, so that constants can be loaded efficiently via a
+base-register relative addressing mode.  Since the offset in
+base-register relative mode is fixed and relatively small (e.g., 16
+bits), this limits the maximum size of the constant pool.  Thus, in
+large programs, it is often necessary to use multiple global pointer
+values in order to be able to address all possible constants.  This
+option causes a warning to be issued whenever this case occurs.
