I was wondering about this. You really need to make it conditional on
something, e.g.

GLIBC_EXTRA_OECONF += "${@bb.utils.contains("TUNE_FEATURES", "m32", ""--with-cpu=e5500", "", d)}"

however, if you do this you need to ensure that TUNE_PKGARCH is not
powerpc but something e5500 specific at this point since you are
enabling e5500 specific optimisations.

Cheers,
