Hi,

the attached patch adds "all" as cpu type for the S/390 backend.  It
can be used in situations where the code does runtime checks in order
to make sure that an instruction can be used.  'as' in then would
reject the instruction when invoked with a lower CPU level.  Having
-march=all the build machinery can override the passthrough of
-march=x from GCC by using -Wa,-march=all on the GCC command line.

We had this situation recently in glibc:

Committed to mainline.

Bye,

-Andreas-

	* config/tc-s390.c (md_parse_option): Add -march=all option which
	switches to the highest available CPU.
