OK. I think we mis-understood each other. Apologies.

I'm all for throwing away this mess as well. As new variants arrive, we'll
add more of this stuff. And when one will try to compile with a gcc that
is not recent enough, the -mcpu and -mtune options will not be recognised,
and the build will break, and we'll be blamed for that.
I'll try to come up with a patch to that effect later in the evening.
Then we'll be able to discuss on sane grounds.
