Joshua, All,

On 2018-03-22 09:26 -0700, Joshua Henderson spake thusly:
> -Ofast (introduced in GCC 4.6) It combines the existing optimization level -O3
> with options that can affect standards compliance but result in better optimized
> code. For example, -Ofast enables -ffast-math.

-Ofast was introduced in gcc-4.6, so you need a dependency:
    depends on BR2_TOOLCHAIN_GCC_AT_LEAST_4_6

Otherwise I'm fine with this.
