I'm not clear what abstraction you are proposing here - what properties 
"test X and test Y use the same flags" you think will be the same between 
architectures.  It's not necessarily the case that the same options are 
applicable to 128-bit vectors of 4 x float and 128-bit vectors of 2 x 
double, for example (I don't think x86 is unique in having float vectors - 
SSE - come before double vectors - SSE2 - and it's up to the people adding 
vector functions to work out what versions are useful).

Without something clear shared between architectures, I think you need 
double-vlen2-arch-ext-cflags and double-vlen4-arch-ext-cflags and further 
such variables for float tests.
