 @opindex mrecip-precision
 Assume (do not assume) that the reciprocal estimate instructions
 provide higher-precision estimates than is mandated by the PowerPC
-ABI.  Selecting @option{-mcpu=power6} or @option{-mcpu=power7}
-automatically selects @option{-mrecip-precision}.  The double-precision 
-square root estimate instructions are not generated by
+ABI.  Selecting @option{-mcpu=power6}, @option{-mcpu=power7} or

+The double-precision square root estimate instructions are not generated by
 default on low-precision machines, since they do not provide an
 estimate that converges after three steps.
