     The compiler tries to convert 80x86 jump instructions into their
     shorter form if possible; this gives smaller object code.
     Shortening some jump instructions may result in other jumps
     becoming eligible to be shortened and so further fixing passes
     may result in further size reduction.
 
     The compiler does this very quickly, so there should be no need
     to change this directive. It is maintained only for compatibility
     with earlier versions of the compiler.
