All variants, please. Users want things to "just work", and that's
easier to manage if they can just specify an option to choose their
chip, rather than doing configure/make incantations, which is harder
to get right for embedded. I would go so far as to say that the
ability to avoid special configs is more important for embedded users
than compile time.
