@kindex @code{.set mips@var{n}}
@sc{gnu} @code{@value{AS}} supports an additional directive to change
the @sc{mips} Instruction Set Architecture level on the fly: @code{.set
-mips@var{n}}. @var{n} should be a number from 0 to 4, or 32. The values 1

how certain macros are expanded. @code{.set mips0} restores the
