We are trying to stop using the custom target specs, so we should ask
upstream to give you a built-in target you can use (or equivalently, a
flag to do what you need, but I think the idea is to not have such a
flag).

i.e. even if you used the custom target JSON, we would still need to
ask, since the goal is to remove that script entirely.

Thanks!
