Any particular reason you chose to list various instructions individually
rather than just ask GCC for the full ABI ? I'd think all of the above
condences down to just

  # add flags for individual instruction set extensions
  if get_option('x86_version') >= '1'
    if host_arch == 'i386'
      qemu_common_flags = ['-mfpmath=sse'] + qemu_common_flags
    else
      # present on basically all processors but technically not part of
      # x86-64-v1, so only include -mneeded for x86-64 version 2 and above
      qemu_common_flags = ['-mcx16'] + qemu_common_flags
    endif
  endif
  if get_option('x86_version') >= '2'
    qemu_common_flags = ['-march=x86-64-v' + get_option('x86_version'), '-mneeded'] + qemu_common_flags
  endif


With regards,

To avoid that the default ('1') forces a lower level than the compiler default.

Something like what you propose below could work by adding a 'default'
value to the x86_version option, that leaves the flags entirely alone
apart from -mcx16.

However, doing so would prevent QEMU from changing the default to
x86-64-v2 in meson_options.txt, because then even a compiler that
defaults to x86-64-v3 would build a QEMU with AVX2 disabled.

For AVX2 specifically this is not a huge deal because the decision to
use AVX2 code is mostly done at runtime; but it would be a problem for
future integer instruction set extensions---for example if the distro
compiler uses APX you don't want to disable it.

Also -msse2 here, but yes.

Acked-by: Richard Henderson <richard.henderson@linaro.org>

For -mneeded, we need gcc 11 and for enforcing GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_NEEDED we need glibc 
2.33, so:

   debian 12
   fedora 34
   ubuntu 2204
   suse leap 15.6 or tumbleweed.
   centos stream 9

I believe the -mneeded option will be accepted by FreeBSD's clang, but the note will not 
be enforced by the dynamic linker at startup.

However, since this is all optional, requiring an explicit configure option, I don't think 
any of this versioning should stand in the way.
