The "basedon" field allows a configuration file to be based on another config file. Base config files can be compiled into the driver like "microblaze-ellcc-linux" in this example. Other examples of config files can be found at http://ellcc.org/viewvc/svn/ellcc/trunk/libecc/config/

That's more or less what was proposed back then.

I'm not sure how all the options will be laid out, but we'll need some documentation outlining precisely what each one means and how they behave, so that others can extend it without having to look at the source code.

Also, we can hide most complexity on the default configurations for each target (like you do on {arch}-ellcc-{env}).

Maybe this would be a good BoF for the US LLVM Meeting?

cheers, --renato
