Sure. Reword it as "Allow toolchains that are pre-configured to build 32-bit codes to compile 64-bit U-Boot"?
Hmm... The flag you are adding does enforce or allow? So, if -m64 will still allow to compile 32-bit code, then it's allowing, otherwise it's enforcing. Or I miss something?
-m64 will only be passed to compiler when building source files that are part of 64-bit U-Boot. For 32-bit U-Boot, it is still -m32.
Yes, what I'm trying to understand is 1. U-Boot is compiled _either_ 64-bit, _or_ 32-bit binary -- correct? 2. If above is correct then -m64 _enforces_ to compile it as 64-bit -- correct?
Or I'm mistaken with the last and -m64 just adds a _preference_ to compile as 64-bit?
