gcc-target.inc: configure gcc for armv7ve targets to default to armv7ve
Originally these ARM specific EXTRA_OECONF options were applied to both gcc for the target and gcc-cross. That lead to a compromise being made: gcc on the target was configured to default to an ARM architecture which was at least compatible with the target (but not necessarily an exact match) and gcc-cross was configured default to armv7a for both armv7a and armv7ve (to avoid gcc-cross rebuilds when switching between the two). However, when these ARM specific EXTRA_OECONF options were moved from gcc-configure-common.inc into gcc-target.inc (ie they were made to apply only to gcc on the target) the compromise no longer needed to be made. http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=851937dde81de2a9ef54c5f19a78fb12fb82afd4 Signed-off-by: Andre McCurdy <armccurdy@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
