I suggest you go and look at the solution that was in place for MIPS |

subarches as well to take that into consideration. |

I think it still exists in: mips-sources, arcboot, arcload. |

The latter two being bootloaders that need to be specifically configured |

for the subarch else they just don't work. |

I think the PPC64 folk also experimented for a while with something for |

the Cell chip. |

In general, +1 on the subprofile, but not so much on the masking, |
15 |
unless cross-compile isn't an option at all. |
