+ bool "Never (force delay slot branches)"
+ help
+ Pass the -mcompact-branches=never flag to the compiler in order to
+ force it to always emit branches with delay slots, and make no use
+ of the compact branch instructions introduced by MIPSr6. This is
+ useful if you suspect there may be an issue with compact branches in
+ either the compiler or the CPU.

+ bool "Optimal (use where beneficial)"
+ help
+ Pass the -mcompact-branches=optimal flag to the compiler in order for
+ it to make use of compact branch instructions where it deems them
+ beneficial, and use branches with delay slots elsewhere. This is the
+ default compiler behaviour, and should be used unless you have a
+ reason to choose otherwise.
+
+config MIPS_COMPACT_BRANCHES_ALWAYS
+ bool "Always (force compact branches)"
+ help
+ Pass the -mcompact-branches=always flag to the compiler in order to
+ force it to always emit compact branches, making no use of branch
+ instructions with delay slots. This can result in more compact code
+ which may be beneficial in some scenarios.
