Could you explain further what the circumstances are under which this is
or is not needed, given that people have evidently been building without
this option, presumably with GCC configured differently?
You should not need to edit the toplevel configure.ac or config.make.in to
set an architecture-specific makefile variable. Rather, use
LIBC_CONFIG_VAR in the sysdeps configure.ac to set such a variable without
needing to change system-independent files.
