-@node i386 and x86-64 Options
-@subsection Intel 386 and AMD x86-64 Options
+@node x86 Options
+@subsection x86 Options
 @cindex i386 Options
-@cindex x86-64 Options
+@cindex x86 Options
+@cindex IA-32 Options
 @cindex Intel 386 Options
 @cindex AMD x86-64 Options

Let's go all the way and remove all but  "@cindex x86 Options".

-These @samp{-m} options are defined for the i386 and x86-64 family of
-computers:
+These @samp{-m} options are defined for the x86 family of computers,
+including both x86-32 (IA-32 and Intel 386) and AMD x86-64:

Also here. "... the x86 family of computers.". Without the "including ..." part.

-@node i386 and x86-64 Windows Options
-@subsection i386 and x86-64 Windows Options
-@cindex i386 and x86-64 Windows Options
+@node x86 Windows Options
+@subsection x86 Windows Options
+@cindex x86 Windows Options
+@cindex i386 Windows Options
+@cindex Intel 386 Windows Options
+@cindex AMD x86-64 Windows Options
+@cindex Windows Options for x86

IMO, all but "@cindex x86 Windows Options" should be removed.

Others LGTM.

Thanks,
