@item -mgp32
-Assume that 32-bit general purpose registers are available. This
-affects synthetic instructions such as @code{move}, which will assemble
-to a 32-bit or a 64-bit instruction depending on this flag. On some
-MIPS variants there is a 32-bit mode flag; when this flag is set,
-64-bit instructions generate a trap. Also, some 32-bit OSes only save
-the 32-bit registers on a context switch, so it is essential never to
-use the 64-bit registers.
+@itemx -mfp32
+Some macros have different expansions for 32-bit and 64-bit registers.
+The register sizes are normally inferred from the ISA and ABI, but these
+flags force a certain group of registers to be treated as 32 bits wide at
+all times. @samp{-mgp32} controls the size of general-purpose registers
+and @samp{-mfp32} controls the size of floating-point registers.

@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. A value from 1
-to 4 makes the assembler accept instructions for the corresponding
-@sc{isa} level, from that point on in the assembly. @code{.set
-mips@var{n}} affects not only which instructions are permitted, but also
-how certain macros are expanded. @code{.set mips0} restores the
-@sc{isa} level to its original level: either the level you selected with
-command line options, or the default for your configuration. You can
-use this feature to permit specific @sc{r4000} instructions while
-assembling in 32 bit mode. Use this directive with care!

in which it will assemble instructions for the MIPS 16 processor. Use
@samp{.set nomips16} to return to normal 32 bit mode.
