i was responding to your *general* statement that you wish to get rid of all
board config.mk's. and my simple response that this goal is not feasible. so
to back up my statement with fact, i gave real world examples that are not
attainable if you punt all board config.mk's.

ive explained in the past why. one of the reasons why i think config.mk makes
more sense is this setting is only used for compilation (build flags). it
isnt used directly anywhere in the config.h or related code. i also find it
significantly cleaner than the cpu handling as found in the arm or m68k or ppc
ports where copy & pasting swaths of code is the rule.
