Let's not call it 'tune' settings, let's call it what it is: floatingpoint ABI.

Let's look at this sitation: I have 2 marvell armada 510 based boards, a cubox and a spherebox. I build bash for both machines, but the bash ipk from the one doesn't run on the other. That's a great first experience when using the BSP, existing software for that SoC doesn't work anymore.
