Thanks for the explanation. And remembering that I've already updated
the patch, so I ask only out of interest...
... I still think that allowing the vendor string to control some
defaults would be nice. So in my case it would be great if the
default architecture for an arc-mellanox toolchain was nps400, from a
user PoV that seems like it would be a nicer experience .... maybe.
There's precedent for setting defaults with configure switches.
See e.g,. gcc's --with-cpu= and --with-arch=.
And I see gas/configure.ac handles --with-arch for nds32.
Thanks,
