Well, your argument was the need to provide board or file specific
optimizer options to "favor speed over size ...".  To me it seems this
argument has nothing to do with what the definitions above are doing.

OK, then please let's do this.  I guess this will allow to remove a
number of other config.mk files as well.

Such config.mk files that are really needed (i. e. for which no easy
other approach exists) may remain.

And why cannot it be set in the board config file like every other
board doing it?
