So since this is an ABI, why isn't it just adding a new -mabi value?
In any case, command-line option changes need documentation in invoke.texi.

Thanks,
Kyrill

I think it's just an oversight, because we always talk about "FDPIC
mode". I can change it, it's meant to be mostly hidden and toggled by
the target name.

I keep forgetting this, sorry.

Actually, the other targets with FDPIC support use -mfdpic (bfin, frv,
sh), so I'm not sure what's the best option?
Using -mfdpic has the advantage of consistency across targets.
