Indeed, this is misleading. But I named the option as par with the others
around it:
ARCH_SUPPORT_CPU --> supports --with-cpu= and -mcpu=
ARCH_SUPPORT_TUNE --> supports --with-tune= and -mtune=
ARCH_SUPPORT_FLOAT --> supports --with-float= and -mfloat=
ARCH_SUPPORT_FPU --> supports --with-fpu= and -mfpu=
Of course, this does not match for the following option:
ARCH_SUPPORT_SOFTFP
Also, the options are not consistenly named:
ARCH_SUPPORT_CPU but ARCH_SUPPORTS_64
This could probably be improved, indeed... I'll see if I can get sometime
for it soonish...
Thanks for the review!
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
