I would like such a patch. I would propose --enable-targets=all be the default, and have a shortcut --enable-targets=native that selects the native arch and any multilib/arch targets plus BPF when targeting the linux kernel. We could also see if we can deprecate, or just remove some targets that haven't seen any maintenance in years. Thinking of alpha, ia64, sh and tilegx. Cheers, Mark
