Subject: Clarify .arch_extension possible values
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8811c8f495557bb05a65d2c09eb529e2675b6a57;p=binutils-gdb.git

Clarify .arch_extension possible values

Documentation for .arch_extension says it accepts the same architectural
extensions as those accepted by -mcpu. Given the name and the fact that
-march for obvious reason also accept the same extensions, I believe
it's worth mentioning that it accepts the same extensions as both
-march and -mcpu. This commit addresses that.
