 ! CHECK-NEXT: Use <value> as character line width in fixed mode
+! CHECK-NEXT: -ffp-contract=<value> Form fused FP ops (e.g. FMAs): fast (fuses 
across statements disregarding pragmas) | on (only fuses in the same statement 
unless dictated by pragmas) | off (never fuses) | fast-honor-pragmas (fuses 
across statements unless diectated by pragmas). Default is 'fast' for CUDA, 
'fast-honor-pragmas' for HIP, and 'on' otherwise.

Both `clang -help` and `flang-new -help` must be 100% correct. As this help 
text is not valid in the case of LLVM Flang, it needs to be updated 
accordingly. 

As @tblah points out, there's no straightforward mechanism for having a custom 
help texts for `clang` and `flang-new` in Clang's driver library ATM. But I 
think that this can be achieved even without creating a separate "Options.td" 
file. One would have to define a new tablegen record in "Options.td". That 
would be a separate patch though, probably accompanied by an RFC.

There's a different solution too. Note that currently the definition uses the 
`HelpText` field. However, you could use [[ 
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/b1d7a95e4e4a2b57cbe02636bbe357dc48d615c5/clang/include/clang/Driver/Options.td#L81-L82
 | DocBrief ]] instead (which we used to solve a similar issue with [[ 
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/b1d7a95e4e4a2b57cbe02636bbe357dc48d615c5/clang/include/clang/Driver/Options.td#L696-L704
 | -I ]]). That's what I suggest that you do. Basically, copy the contents of 
`HelpText` for `-ffp-contract` into a `DocBrief` field (we don't use this field 
in Flang and it should probably be renamed as `DocBriefClang`). `HelpText` 
should be replaced with something brief that applies both to Clang and Flang.

Btw, what's the help-text/spelling in `gfortran`?
