-You can use the @samp{-A@var{architecture}} command line option to
-specify one of the two-letter names identifying members of the 960
-family; the option specifies the desired output target, and warns of any
-incompatible instructions in the input files. It also modifies the
-linker's search strategy for archive libraries, to support the use of
-libraries specific to each particular architecture, by including in the
-search loop names suffixed with the string identifying the architecture.
-
-For example, if your @command{ld} command line included @w{@samp{-ACA}} as
-well as @w{@samp{-ltry}}, the linker would look (in its built-in search
-paths, and in any paths you specify with @samp{-L}) for a library with
-the names
-
-@smallexample
-@group
-try
-libtry.a
-tryca
-libtryca.a
-@end group
-@end smallexample
-
-@noindent
-The first two possibilities would be considered in any event; the last
-two are due to the use of @w{@samp{-ACA}}.
-
-You can meaningfully use @samp{-A} more than once on a command line, since
-the 960 architecture family allows combination of target architectures; each
-use will add another pair of name variants to search for when @w{@samp{-l}}
-specifies a library.
-
-@cindex @option{--relax} on i960
-@cindex relaxing on i960
-@command{ld} supports the @samp{--relax} option for the i960 family. If
-you specify @samp{--relax}, @command{ld} finds all @code{balx} and
-@code{calx} instructions whose targets are within 24 bits, and turns
-them into 24-bit program-counter relative @code{bal} and @code{cal}
-instructions, respectively. @command{ld} also turns @code{cal}
-instructions into @code{bal} instructions when it determines that the
-target subroutine is a leaf routine (that is, the target subroutine does
-not itself call any subroutines).
