Dear all,

In the default config distributions, there are two distinct CONFIG_ARCH
for the mv167 and the mv162.
We have an application using both these targets and realized much code
was probably compiled twice (starting wiht the EPICS core) when there
was no need for it, the diffent flags beeing specifc to the 68040 CPU
rather than the actual boards.

I had to build a whole system, and just realised how much time would be
saved this way. the only issue being some ./bin/mv167 references in my
mv162 startup script (or vice versa)..

My question is: would it make sense (and be safe) to declare a generic
CONFIG_ARCH.68040 ? that would let me clean up the startup script issue.

Regards,
  Matthieu
