Quite a different thing to me, considering the wide quantity of them.
But for an handful of useflag it would be a bit of overkill.
Perhaps you are thinking too narrowly here. Consider that this
USE_EXPAND could potentially be used to enable cpu specific flags over
more arches than just 32/64-bit x86. It seems clear that ppc and sparc
could already benefit, and I can think of at least one situation on mips
where it would be useful.
Any other arch teams care to comment? How many different types of CPUs
would it take to become a "wide quantity" in your eyes?
