72<a name="index-s390-options"></a>

74<p>The following table lists all available s390 specific options:
75</p>
76<dl compact="compact">
77<dd><a name="index-_002dm31-option_002c-s390"></a>
78<a name="index-_002dm64-option_002c-s390"></a>
79</dd>
80<dt><code>-m31 | -m64</code></dt>
81<dd><p>Select 31- or 64-bit ABI implying a word size of 32- or 64-bit.
82</p>
83<p>These options are only available with the ELF object file format, and
84require that the necessary BFD support has been included (on a 31-bit
85platform you must add &ndash;enable-64-bit-bfd on the call to the configure
86script to enable 64-bit usage and use s390x as target platform).
87</p>
88<a name="index-_002dmesa-option_002c-s390"></a>
89<a name="index-_002dmzarch-option_002c-s390"></a>
90</dd>
91<dt><code>-mesa | -mzarch</code></dt>
92<dd><p>Select the architecture mode, either the Enterprise System Architecture
93(esa) mode or the z/Architecture mode (zarch).
94</p>
95<p>The 64-bit instructions are only available with the z/Architecture mode.
96The combination of &lsquo;<samp>-m64</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>-mesa</samp>&rsquo; results in a warning
97message.
98</p>
99<a name="index-_002dmarch_003d-option_002c-s390"></a>
100</dd>
101<dt><code>-march=<var>CPU</var></code></dt>
102<dd><p>This option specifies the target processor. The following processor names
103are recognized:
104<code>g5</code> (or <code>arch3</code>),
105<code>g6</code>,
106<code>z900</code> (or <code>arch5</code>),
107<code>z990</code> (or <code>arch6</code>),
108<code>z9-109</code>,
109<code>z9-ec</code> (or <code>arch7</code>),
110<code>z10</code> (or <code>arch8</code>),
111<code>z196</code> (or <code>arch9</code>),
112<code>zEC12</code> (or <code>arch10</code>),
113<code>z13</code> (or <code>arch11</code>),
114<code>z14</code> (or <code>arch12</code>),
115<code>z15</code> (or <code>arch13</code>), and
116<code>arch14</code>.
117</p>
118<p>Assembling an instruction that is not supported on the target
119processor results in an error message.
120</p>
121<p>The processor names starting with <code>arch</code> refer to the edition
122number in the Principle of Operations manual.  They can be used as
123alternate processor names and have been added for compatibility with
124the IBM XL compiler.
125</p>
126<p><code>arch3</code>, <code>g5</code> and <code>g6</code> cannot be used with the
127&lsquo;<samp>-mzarch</samp>&rsquo; option since the z/Architecture mode is not supported
128on these processor levels.
129</p>
130<p>There is no <code>arch4</code> option supported. <code>arch4</code> matches
131<code>-march=arch5 -mesa</code>.

133<a name="index-_002dmregnames-option_002c-s390"></a>

135<dt><code>-mregnames</code></dt>

144</dd>
145<dt><code>-mwarn-areg-zero</code></dt>
146<dd><p>Warn whenever the operand for a base or index register has been specified
147but evaluates to zero. This can indicate the misuse of general purpose
148register 0 as an address register.
