[Buildroot] [PATCH 02/11] arch: MIPS: Add config option BR2_GCC_TARGET_TUNE

[Paul Cercueil]

Hi Yann,

This patch would pass the same value to --with-arch and --with-tune, 
unless you define a different value for BR2_GCC_TARGET_TUNE in your 
defconfig. We use that for the Ingenic jz4740 processor, which is a 
mips32 processor but running better the code tuned for mips32r2.
