Perhaps you are thinking too narrowly here. Consider that this |
| 8 |
USE_EXPAND could potentially be used to enable cpu specific flags over |
| 9 |
more arches than just 32/64-bit x86. It seems clear that ppc and sparc |
| 10 |
could already benefit, and I can think of at least one situation on mips |
| 11 |
where it would be useful. |

Any other arch teams care to comment? How many different types of CPUs |
| 14 |
would it take to become a "wide quantity" in your eyes? |
