That's more of a question for Waldemar: does it really makes sense to
have defconfigs for each architecture? I mean how do they differ
between each other?

For example, the ARC arcv2_defconfig and defconfig only differ by the
option CONFIG_ARC_CPU_HS, whose only purpose is to pass -mcpu=archs.
Shouldn't be the solution used on ARM (removing all options to select
the compiler flags, and leave it to the user to pass the appropriate
options) be used as well ?

So, are they really useful? Shouldn't uclibc-ng instead come with just
one or two defconfigs, like a "minimal" one and "full-featured" one?

Best regards,

Thomas
