I cannot follow you here. Especially I have no idea what you mean by
"system config file".

To make sure we use the same terms: THe "board config file" is the
board specific header file "include/configs/<boardname>.h". This file
is definitely NOT the correct place to tweak compiler and/or assembler
options (not to mention that I don't see how this would be done).

I _guess_ you might be referring to the cpu/*/config.mk files, but
then the term "_board_ config file" is wrong.

Since I haven't heard again about this I assume this is for the next
merge window (or even later). Is this assumption correct, or should
this still go into the current release?
