Since gcc correctly enables the appropriate extensions based on the core name, we don't really need to introduce a separate config for armv8.2a, and we can piggyback on armv8a. In theory, gcc supports those cores in arm mode. However, configuring gcc thusly generates a non-working gcc that constantly whines: cc1: warning: switch -mcpu=cortex-a55 conflicts with -march=armv8.2-a switch It is to be noted that the -march flag is internal to gcc. It is not something that Buildroot did set when configuring gcc; Buildroot only ever sets --with-cpu (not --with-arch). Additionally, uClibc fails to build entirely (unsure if this is caused by the above, or if it is a separate issue, though), with: #### Your compiler does not support TLS and you are trying to build uClibc-ng #### with NPTL support. Upgrade your binutils and gcc to versions which #### support TLS for your architecture. Do not contact uClibc-ng maintainers #### about this problem. Glibc and musl have not been tested in arm mode, so maybe we could have a toolchain that eventually works (or at least, pretends to be working), but we decided it was not worth the effort. Thus, we restrict those cores to AArch64 mode only. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.
