@item --size-sort
-Sort symbols by size. The size is computed as the difference between
-the value of the symbol and the value of the symbol with the next higher
-value. If the @code{bsd} output format is used the size of the symbol
-is printed, rather than the value, and @samp{-S} must be used in order
-both size and value to be printed.

Remove any section matching @var{sectionpattern} from the output file.

behaviour.
+If the first character of @var{sectionpattern} is the exclamation
+point (!) then matching sections will not be removed even if an

+Remove relocations from the output file for any section matching

+For example:

+
+will remove the relocations for all sections matching the patter
+'.text.*'.
+
+If the first character of @var{sectionpattern} is the exclamation

-Make symbol @var{symbolname} local to the file, so that it is not
-visible externally. This option may be given more than once.
+Convert a global or weak symbol called @var{symbolname} into a local
+symbol, so that it is not visible externally. This option may be

@item -W @var{symbolname}
@itemx --weaken-symbol=@var{symbolname}
Decompress DWARF debug sections using zlib. The original section
names of the compressed sections are restored.
+@item --elf-stt-common=yes

+For ELF files, these options control whether common symbols should be

disassembler option then multiple @option{-M} options can be used or
can be placed together into a comma separated list.
+For the ARC architecture the option can be used to specify the extra
+instruction classes that should be disassembled. A comma separated
+list of one or more of the following values should be used:
+
+@table @code
+@item dsp
+Recognize DSP instructions.
+@item spfp
+Recognize FPX SP instructions.
+@item dpfp
+Recognize FPX DP instructions.
+@item quarkse_em
+Recognize FPU QuarkSE-EM instructions.
+@item fpuda
+Recognize double assist FPU instructions.
+@item fpus
+Recognize single precision FPU instructions.
+@item fpud
+Recognize double precision FPU instructions.
+@end table
+
If the target is an ARM architecture then this switch can be used to
select which register name set is used during disassembler. Specifying
@option{-M reg-names-std} (the default) will select the register names as
be decoded as VAX instructions, which would probably lead the rest
of the function being wrongly disassembled.
+For ARC, @option{dsp} controls the printing of DSP instructions,
+@option{spfp} selects the printing of FPX single precision FP
+instructions, @option{dpfp} selects the printing of FPX double
+precision FP instructions, @option{quarkse_em} selects the printing of
+special QuarkSE-EM instructions, @option{fpuda} selects the printing
+of double precision assist instructions, @option{fpus} selects the
+printing of FPU single precision FP instructions, while @option{fpud}
+selects the printing of FPU souble precision FP instructions.
