Re: Updated --with-cpu patch, v9


Neat!  Just one thing I dislike about it:

I'd rather have some special spec for this (%(VALUE) or so, instead of
using a fixed string that might be legitimately used in specs).  But
then, why not go ahead and define the defaults as separate specs
(%(default_cpu_spec), %(default_tune_spec)) etc, and rely on
DRIVER_SELF_SPECS alone?
