<dl><dt><code>-marc[5|6|7|8]</code><dd>This option selects the core processor variant. Using
<code>-marc</code> is the same as <code>-marc6</code>, which
is also the default.
<a name="index-_0040code_007barc5_007d-arc5_002c-ARC-536"></a>
<dl><dt><code>arc5</code><dd>Base instruction set.
<p><a name="index-_0040code_007barc6_007d-arc6_002c-ARC-537"></a><br><dt><code>arc6</code><dd>Jump-and-link (jl) instruction. No requirement of an instruction between
setting flags and conditional jump. For example:
<pre class="smallexample"> mov.f r0,r1
beq foo
</pre>
<p><a name="index-_0040code_007barc7_007d-arc7_002c-ARC-538"></a><br><dt><code>arc7</code><dd>Break (brk) and sleep (sleep) instructions.
<p><a name="index-_0040code_007barc8_007d-arc8_002c-ARC-539"></a><br><dt><code>arc8</code><dd>Software interrupt (swi) instruction.
</dl>
<p>Note: the <code>.option</code> directive can to be used to select a core
variant from within assembly code.
<p><a name="index-_0040code_007b_002dEB_007d-command-line-option_002c-ARC-540"></a><br><dt><code>-EB</code><dd>This option specifies that the output generated by the assembler should
be marked as being encoded for a big-endian processor.
<p><a name="index-_0040code_007b_002dEL_007d-command-line-option_002c-ARC-541"></a><br><dt><code>-EL</code><dd>This option specifies that the output generated by the assembler should
be marked as being encoded for a little-endian processor - this is the
default.
