It depends on the case. Which case are you talking about? > I'm not sure I got what you mean by "having subarchitecture options", > could you explain? The different MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3 options are selected by the "Architecture Variant" options. However, the SSE4 options are not selected by any "Architecture Variant" that currently exists in Buildroot. I'd prefer not to have such dead/unused code, so either the corresponding Architecture Variants should be added, or the SSE4 related options should not be added for now (until someone actually needs those Architecture Variants).
