+@opindex @code{frepack-arrays}
+@cindex repacking arrays
In some circumstances GNU Fortran may pass assumed shape array
sections via a descriptor describing a noncontiguous area of memory.
This option adds code to the function prologue to repack the data into
is noncontiguous.
@item -fshort-enums
-@cindex @code{-fshort-enums} option
-@cindex option, @code{-fshort-enums}
+@opindex @code{fshort-enums}
This option is provided for interoperability with C code that was
compiled with the @option{-fshort-enums} option. It will make
GNU Fortran choose the smallest @code{INTEGER} kind a given
enumerator set will fit in, and give all its enumerators this kind.
@item -fexternal-blas
-@cindex @code{-fexternal-blas} option
-@cindex option, @code{-fexternal-blas}
-This option will make gfortran generate calls to BLAS functions for some
-matrix operations like @code{MATMUL}, instead of using our own
+@opindex @code{fexternal-blas}
+This option will make @command{gfortran} generate calls to BLAS functions
+for some matrix operations like @code{MATMUL}, instead of using our own
algorithms, if the size of the matrices involved is larger than a given
limit (see @option{-fblas-matmul-limit}). This may be profitable if an
optimized vendor BLAS library is available. The BLAS library will have
to be specified at link time.

+@opindex @code{fblas-matmul-limit}
Only significant when @option{-fexternal-blas} is in effect.
Matrix multiplication of matrices with size larger than (or equal to) @var{n}
will be performed by calls to BLAS functions, while others will be
