-w      Turn warnings on
-w-par  Turn off specific warning (unreferenced parameters)
-a      align on word boundary
-d      merge duplicate strings
-f-     floating point off
-A      ANSI, no extensions
-G-     Optimise for size
-O      Optimise jumps
-Z      Suppress register reloads (a specific optimisation)
-DXXX   define MSDOS for preprocessor
-Ff=n   Put variables over n bytes long into separate segments

For your purposes you can ignore everything except -D and the word
alignment...

Case sensitive library (not the default).  Again, you can ignore it (the
GCC library and linker follow Unix standards, I believe).
