[RFC] Moving PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCHS to include/tune-*

[RFC] Moving PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCHS to include/tune-*

[Koen Kooi]

Hi,

Currently we set PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCH in each machine, but nearly all 
entries could get moved to the tune-* files.

So

PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCHS = "armv4 armv4t armv5te armv6 armv7 armv7a"

Will move from beagleboard.conf to tune-cortexa8.conf but it will use 
'+=' instead of '=' so machines can still do PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCHS = 
"someleetarch"

Comments, suggestions?

regards,

Koen

I think this is a good idea. We should aim to keep machine.conf files as 
small as possible and PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCH is more cpu specific than 
machine specific.

+1 from me as this should make it easier for people who adds new 
machines.

This is a bit off topic, but we also need a way to include extra staging
paths for these architectures to PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH (and maybe
more). It would be nice to fix it on architecture or classes level.

See my last week mail "mplayer: PATH=...STAGING_BINDIR_CROSS not
sufficient with complex PACKAGE_ARCH".
