Disable adding -mtune or -march to the external toolchain parameters
if -mcpu is present.

We discussed this patch at the last Buildroot meeting, and our feeling
is that it's not the correct approach. I've since then sent a patch
series that fix the same problem. Our approach is:

 * On ARM, to no longer specify -march, but only -mcpu, since the
   latter is used by gcc to deduce the former.

 * In general, get rid of -mtune, since it doesn't make much sense in
   the context of Buildroot where we target one specific system, and
   therefore using -mcpu is sufficient.

So, we've marked your patch as Rejected in our patch tracking system.

Best regards,

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

thanks for the notice, I've seen the changes since then.

Best regards,
