3.18.51 VAX Options
-------------------

These `-m' options are defined for the VAX:

`-munix'
     Do not output certain jump instructions (`aobleq' and so on) that
     the Unix assembler for the VAX cannot handle across long ranges.

`-mgnu'
     Do output those jump instructions, on the assumption that the GNU
     assembler is being used.

`-mg'
     Output code for G-format floating-point numbers instead of
     D-format.


You may be confusing it with -mgnu ?
