+
+@cindex options, M680x0
+@cindex M680x0 options
+The Motorola 680x0 version of @code{@value{AS}} has a few machine
+dependent options.
+
+@cindex @samp{-l} option, M680x0
+You can use the @samp{-l} option to shorten the size of references to undefined
+symbols. If you do not use the @samp{-l} option, references to undefined
+symbols are wide enough for a full @code{long} (32 bits). (Since
+@code{@value{AS}} cannot know where these symbols end up, @code{@value{AS}} can
+only allocate space for the linker to fill in later. Since @code{@value{AS}}
+does not know how far away these symbols are, it allocates as much space as it
+can.) If you use this option, the references are only one word wide (16 bits).
+This may be useful if you want the object file to be as small as possible, and
+you know that the relevant symbols are always less than 17 bits away.
+
+@cindex @samp{--register-prefix-optional} option, M680x0
+For some configurations, especially those where the compiler normally
+does not prepend an underscore to the names of user variables, the
+assembler requires a @samp{%} before any use of a register name. This
+is intended to let the assembler distinguish between C variables and
+functions named @samp{a0} through @samp{a7}, and so on. The @samp{%} is
+always accepted, but is not required for certain configurations, notably
+@samp{sun3}. The @samp{--register-prefix-optional} option may be used
+to permit omitting the @samp{%} even for configurations for which it is
+normally required. If this is done, it will generally be impossible to
+refer to C variables and functions with the same names as register
+names.
+
+@cindex @samp{--bitwise-or} option, M680x0
+Normally the character @samp{|} is treated as a comment character, which
+means that it can not be used in expressions. The @samp{--bitwise-or}
+option turns @samp{|} into a normal character. In this mode, you must
+either use C style comments, or start comments with a @samp{#} character
+at the beginning of a line.
+
+@cindex @samp{--base-size-default-16}
+@cindex @samp{--base-size-default-32}
+If you use an addressing mode with a base register without specifying
+the size, @code{@value{AS}} will normally use the full 32 bit value.
+For example, the addressing mode @samp{%a0@@(%d0)} is equivalent to
+@samp{%a0@@(%d0:l)}. You may use the @samp{--base-size-default-16}
+option to tell @code{@value{AS}} to default to using the 16 bit value.
+In this case, @samp{%a0@@(%d0)} is equivalent to @samp{%a0@@(%d0:w)}.
+You may use the @samp{--base-size-default-32} option to restore the
+default behaviour.
+
+@cindex @samp{--disp-size-default-16}
+@cindex @samp{--disp-size-default-32}
+If you use an addressing mode with a displacement, and the value of the
+displacement is not known, @code{@value{AS}} will normally assume that
+the value is 32 bits. For example, if the symbol @samp{disp} has not
+been defined, @code{@value{AS}} will assemble the addressing mode
+@samp{%a0@@(disp,%d0)} as though @samp{disp} is a 32 bit value. You may
+use the @samp{--disp-size-default-16} option to tell @code{@value{AS}}
+to instead assume that the displacement is 16 bits. In this case,
+@code{@value{AS}} will assemble @samp{%a0@@(disp,%d0)} as though
+@samp{disp} is a 16 bit value. You may use the
+@samp{--disp-size-default-32} option to restore the default behaviour.
+
+@cindex @samp{-m68000} and related options
+@cindex architecture options, M680x0
+@cindex M680x0 architecture options
+@code{@value{AS}} can assemble code for several different members of the
+Motorola 680x0 family. The default depends upon how @code{@value{AS}}
+was configured when it was built; normally, the default is to assemble
+code for the 68020 microprocessor. The following options may be used to
+change the default. These options control which instructions and
+addressing modes are permitted. The members of the 680x0 family are
+very similar. For detailed information about the differences, see the
+Motorola manuals.

+@cindex Motorola syntax for the 680x0
+@cindex alternate syntax for the 680x0
+
+The standard Motorola syntax for this chip differs from the syntax
+already discussed (@pxref{M68K-Syntax,,Syntax}). @code{@value{AS}} can
+accept Motorola syntax for operands, even if @sc{mit} syntax is used for
+other operands in the same instruction. The two kinds of syntax are
+fully compatible.
+
+In the following table @var{apc} stands for any of the address registers
+(@samp{%a0} through @samp{%a7}), the program counter (@samp{%pc}), the
+zero-address relative to the program counter (@samp{%zpc}), or a
+suppressed address register (@samp{%za0} through @samp{%za7}). The use
+of @var{size} means one of @samp{w} or @samp{l}, and it may always be
+omitted along with the leading dot. The use of @var{scale} means one of
+@samp{1}, @samp{2}, @samp{4}, or @samp{8}, and it may always be omitted
+along with the leading asterisk.
+
+The following additional addressing modes are understood:
+
+@table @dfn
+@item Address Register Indirect
+@samp{(%a0)} through @samp{(%a7)}@*
+@samp{%a7} is also known as @samp{%sp}, i.e. the Stack Pointer. @code{%a6}

+@samp{-(%a0)} through @samp{-(%a7)}
+
+@item Indirect Plus Offset
+@samp{@var{number}(@var{%a0})} through @samp{@var{number}(@var{%a7})},
+or @samp{@var{number}(@var{%pc})}.
+
+The @var{number} may also appear within the parentheses, as in
+@samp{(@var{number},@var{%a0})}. When used with the @var{pc}, the
+@var{number} may be omitted (with an address register, omitting the
+@var{number} produces Address Register Indirect mode).
+
+@item Index
+@samp{@var{number}(@var{apc},@var{register}.@var{size}*@var{scale})}
+
+The @var{number} may be omitted, or it may appear within the
+parentheses. The @var{apc} may be omitted. The @var{register} and the
+@var{apc} may appear in either order. If both @var{apc} and
+@var{register} are address registers, and the @var{size} and @var{scale}
+are omitted, then the first register is taken as the base register, and
+the second as the index register.
+
+@item Postindex

+them, may be omitted. The @var{onumber} may be omitted. The
+@var{register} and the @var{apc} may appear in either order. If both
+@var{apc} and @var{register} are address registers, and the @var{size}

+@cindex M680x0 branch improvement
+Certain pseudo opcodes are permitted for branch instructions.
+They expand to the shortest branch instruction that reach the
+target. Generally these mnemonics are made by substituting @samp{j} for
+@samp{b} at the start of a Motorola mnemonic.
+
+The following table summarizes the pseudo-operations. A @code{*} flags
+cases that are more fully described after the table:

+These are the simplest jump pseudo-operations; they always map to one

+
+@item j@var{XX}
+Here, @samp{j@var{XX}} stands for an entire family of pseudo-operations,

+For the cases of non-PC relative displacements and long displacements on
+the 68000 or 68010, @code{@value{AS}} issues a longer code fragment in terms of
+@var{NX}, the opposite condition to @var{XX}. For example, for the
+non-PC relative case:
+@smallexample

+@end smallexample
+
+Other than for word and byte displacements, when the source reads
