Sure, but we replaced '-mtune=emag' with '-mcpu=emag'.

Is it possible that the compiler will say: ['-mcpu=neoverse-n2', '-march=armv9-a'] is supported ['-mcpu=neoverse-n2'] is supported ['-march=armv9-a'] is not supported So basically the question is are we risking that the compiler will say it supports both options only when both are passed while also saying it doesn't support one or both of them when checked alone. We've seen this behavior with newer compilers in aarch32 builds (-march=armv8-a+simd -mfpu=auto are supported when both are passed, but -march=armv8-a is not supported alone), so I wanted to be sure. > Example: > > Good: > #aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -march=armv9-a+sve2+crypto -mcpu=neoverse-n2 shrn.c > #aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -march=armv9-a+sve2 -mcpu=neoverse-n2 shrn.c > #aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -march=armv9-a -mcpu=neoverse-n2 shrn.c > > Bad: > #aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -mcpu=neoverse-n2 -march=armv8-a shrn.c > cc1: warning: switch '-mcpu=neoverse-n2' conflicts with '-march=armv8-a' > switch > #aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -mcpu=neoverse-n2 -march=armv8.1-a shrn.c > cc1: warning: switch '-mcpu=neoverse-n2' conflicts with '-march=armv8.1-a' > switch > #aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -mcpu=neoverse-n2 -march=armv8.2-a shrn.c > cc1: warning: switch '-mcpu=neoverse-n2' conflicts with '-march=armv8.2-a' > switch > #aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -mcpu=neoverse-n2 -march=armv8.3-a shrn.c > cc1: warning: switch '-mcpu=neoverse-n2' conflicts with '-march=armv8.3-a' > switch > #aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -mcpu=neoverse-n2 -march=armv8.4-a shrn.c > cc1: warning: switch '-mcpu=neoverse-n2' conflicts with '-march=armv8.4-a' > switch > #aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -mcpu=neoverse-n2 -march=armv8.5-a shrn.c > cc1: warning: switch '-mcpu=neoverse-n2' conflicts with '-march=armv8.5-a' > switch > #aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -mcpu=neoverse-n2 -march=armv8.6-a shrn.c > cc1: warning: switch '-mcpu=neoverse-n2' conflicts with '-march=armv8.6-a' > switch > #aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -mcpu=neoverse-n2 -march=armv8.7-a shrn.c > cc1: warning: switch '-mcpu=neoverse-n2' conflicts with '-march=armv8.7-a' > switch > > > > > > + candidate_march = part_number_config['march'] > > > + endif > > > else > > > supported_marchs = ['armv8.6-a', 'armv8.5-a', 'armv8.4-a', > > > 'armv8.3- > > a', > > > 'armv8.2-a', 'armv8.1-a', 'armv8-a']
