I chenged it, but I note that "runtime" is used much more often than
"run-time" and "run time" in the docs.

However, "runtime" is preferred for "libraries and system support
present at run time", which is what this option controls.

Force assembly output to always use hex constants.  Normally such
constants are signed decimals, but this option is available for
testsuite and/or aesthetic purposes.

We're still discussing that with TI; historical non-fsf versions of
the msp-gcc allow the full chip number here (i.e. msp430F5438).
Ideally, such would still be allowed, but the community is talking
about switching to -mcpu= for the ISA and using -mmcu= only for the
linker scripts.  For now, we allow chip numbers but only look for the
'x' to determine the ISA.  We might allow for arbitrary chip numbers,
to be passed to the assembler/linker or to be used as filenames for
linker scripts, headers, or libraries.

So, I only documented the use I know is currently supported.

New text:

This option is passed to the assembler and linker, and allows the
linker to perform certain optimizations that cannot be done until
the final link.

Memory references which do not require an extended MOVX instruction.

I included index.html, I thought...

I didn't see changes.html in the file list I had, though, but I can
certainly add that too.
