Honored ContributorI got some answers in case anybody else has this problem.
1. -EL is for little endian. While the Nios architecture specification allows for big or little endian, only little has been implemented so far, so this option has been removed. 2. -fPIC and -fpic are not supported for bare-metal applications. Period. Older versions of the compiler allowed it but results are buggy and it shouldn't be used. This is why it is disabled in the new version of the compiler. 3. -mno-gpopt has been omitted from the current compiler version by accident. It should reappear in a future release.
