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:

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
-only value for @var{architecture} is @code{armv8-a}.
+following architecture names are recognized: @code{armv8-a} and
+@code{armv8.1-a}.
If both @option{-mcpu} and @option{-march} are specified, the
assembler will use the setting for @option{-mcpu}. If neither are
