Well, it is not possible to get rid of backend-specific options, because the prompts and help text of those options are not the same, as they don't mean the same thing. For internal backend, the wchar option is "I want the wchar support in the toolchain that you will generate", while for the external backend, the wchar option is "Does the external toolchain you're giving me has wchar support". That's the very reason why we have per-backend visible options that select common hidden options. Does that make sense? Thanks for the review!
