While I agree that I'd like a better approach (specifically, I want any Sparse

this patch does at least seem like an improvement over the current hardcoded

That's my desire as well: My ideal sparse backend should be able to
compile x86, x86-64, ppc64, ia64, arm, etc. with just a change of
command line switches.
That would probably mean having some runtime-loadable files describing
the architectures,
Runtime-loadable, or compiled in. But in general... agreed.
The gcc approach is just bloody awful.
Ironically, gcc specfiles do something like that. Of course, they are
not sufficient to actually _compile_ the code, but they may be
sufficient to verify that code.
I was mainly grousing about having to recompile gcc for each target,
which is insanely silly.
