+The ARC chip family includes several successive levels (or other
+variants) of chip, using the same core instruction set, but including
+a few additional instructions at each level.
+
+By default, @code{@value{AS}} assumes the core instruction set (ARC
+base).  The @code{.cpu} pseudo-op is used to select a different variant.

+Any @sc{arc} configuration of @code{@value{AS}} can select big-endian or
+little-endian output at run time (unlike most other @sc{gnu} development
+tools, which must be configured for one or the other).  Use
+@samp{-mbig-endian} to select big-endian output, and @samp{-mlittle-endian}
+for little-endian.
