Can you clarify what problem this is attempting to solve? Maybe it
could be solved better in a different way. As written, this patch
creates an option that produces broken builds unless you follow
unwritten rules about which files are valid to include in
FORCE_GENERIC. Only a very small portion of the ARCH_OBJS (mainly
string and math) are optional optimizations rather than hard
requirements.
