Ok, I've investigated some more. If the Target Architecture Variant is
set to "i386", I get the following
wpettersson ~/buildroot/package/config/buildroot-config $ grep i386 *
auto.conf:BR2_i386=y
auto.conf:BR2_ARCH="i386"
auto.conf:BR2_x86_i386=y
auto.conf:BR2_GCC_TARGET_ARCH="i386"
auto.conf:BR2_GCC_TARGET_TUNE="i386"
autoconf.h:#define BR2_i386 1
autoconf.h:#define BR2_ARCH "i386"
autoconf.h:#define BR2_x86_i386 1
autoconf.h:#define BR2_GCC_TARGET_ARCH "i386"
autoconf.h:#define BR2_GCC_TARGET_TUNE "i386"
However, if I set Target Architecture Variant to "geode", I get
wpettersson ~/buildroot/package/config/buildroot-config $ grep geode *
auto.conf:BR2_x86_geode=y
auto.conf:BR2_GCC_TARGET_ARCH="geode"
auto.conf:BR2_GCC_TARGET_TUNE="geode"
autoconf.h:#define BR2_x86_geode 1
autoconf.h:#define BR2_GCC_TARGET_ARCH "geode"
autoconf.h:#define BR2_GCC_TARGET_TUNE "geode"
So selecting "geode" means that BR2_ARCH doesn't get set. I'm still
trying to dig through the code, but am I heading in the right direction
with this?
