[PATCH v2 1/4] ARC: allow to override default mcpu compiler flag

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Kernel builds set their own default -mcpu for a given ISA build.
But that gets in the way of "custom" -mcpu flags from propagating
into kernel build.

This will also be used in next patches for HSDK-4xD board support which
uses a different -mcpu to effect dual issue scheduling.
