Hmm, the architecture file (conf/machine/nios2.conf) is the most
related file to give sane defaults for the toolchain etc.

Of course distro's and end-users can override that, but I think this
information belongs with the machine or underlying architecture by
default.


I will change it, but my opinion is per above, unless some good
reasons are given why we shouldn't use the system where higher-level
.conf files can override lower-level .conf files.
