To be honest, I would not worry about any of these options.  None of them
(well except for --embedded-relocs) has any target specific effects, and 
so you should not need to test them for your particular port.

PS.  The --embedded-relocs option does have a target specific effect, but it
is only used by a very few targets (bfin, cr16, m68k) and I doubt if it is
needed for your target.
