+ Specifies architecture-specific linker flags for

+ The set of flags is based on the selected tune features.
+ TUNE_LDARGS is set using
+ the tune include files, which are typically under
+ meta/conf/machine/include/ and are
+ influenced through TUNE_FEATURES.
+ For example, the
+ meta/conf/machine/include/x86/arch-x86.inc
+ file defines the flags for the x86 architecture as follows:
+
+ TUNE_LDARGS += "${@bb.utils.contains("TUNE_FEATURES", "mx32", "-m elf32_x86_64", "", d)}"
+
+
+ Board Support Packages (BSPs) can supply their own
+ set of flags.
