# option to be used, based on platform provided ARM_ARCH_MAJOR/MINOR
# data and compiler supported march version.

# Set the compiler's target architecture profile based on
# ARM_ARCH_MAJOR and ARM_ARCH_MINOR options.


# This is used to collect available march values from compiler.
# Example on a gcc-12.2 arm64 toolchain it will look like:
# [...]
#./aarch64-none-elf-gcc --target-help -march=foo
# cc1: error: unknown value 'foo' for '-march'
# cc1: note: valid arguments are: armv8-a armv8.1-a armv8.2-a armv8.3-a armv8.4-a armv8.5-a
# armv8.6-a armv8.7-a armv8.8-a armv8-r armv9-a
# [...]
#

# We try to use `GCC_MARCH_OUTPUT` which has verbose message with supported march values we filter that
# to find armvX.Y-a or armvX-a values, then filter the best supported arch based on ARM_ARCH_MAJOR.
#
# Example on a gcc-12.2 arm64 toolchain this will return armv9-a if platform requested for armv9.2-a
# Similarly on gcc 11.3 it would return armv8.6-a if platform requested armv8.8-a

# is not found it should be ok to try with lastest known supported march value from the
