Joseph is better with that than I am, but I'll give it a try. :-)
+@item -maddress-mode=long
+@opindex maddress-mode=long
+Generate code for long address mode. It is only supported for 64-bit
+and x32 environments. This is the default address mode for 64-bit
+environment.
I cannot formally explain why, but would swap "It" and "This" in
this paragraph and the other.
In any case "64-bit environments" (Plural).
Fine with these changes.
Apart from the above, at least invoke.texi does not define what an x32
environment is. Shouldn't that done somewhere (before this terminology
is used)?
