It would be very useful if I could configure the default target CPU to be an
ultrasparc instead of the default since this gives a major performance boost to
the target in many cases. I am sure there's some way of doing this, but if so
it isn't documented anywhere.
Not only that, but it would also be useful to be able to optimize a compiler
for a particular processor.
In our case, we don't have anything below an Ultrasparc that we need to support
and I imagine there's many other organizations in the same boat.
I'm sure many people would also find it useful for other platforms, i.e. x86.
