A number of configure options only really affect the core code and any
arch specific stuff should be flushed out by other builds:

  - trace-backends, log build is all targets, others can be less
  - --disable-build, ensuring disabling stuff doesn't break host
  - co-routine, default already built with all, common API
  - tcg interpreter is front end agnostic

I've used the ./configure --target-list stem support to do all of one
arch type in each reduced build.

I'm not really convinced by the wildcarding, and this seems like
a good demonstration of why it's overbroad. "86" ??

The wildcarding gives you a configure command that will
potentially change behaviour as we introduce new targets,
too; that makes me a bit nervous.

thanks

Blame the x86 naming scheme for that. It works nicely for building all
arm, mips and ppc stuff quite nicely.

Well it doesn't stop you using the full names but I take your point.
What about a different selection flag for selecting by backends?

Am I right in guessing that the reason you don't want to just
say --target-list=arm-softmmu,arm-linux-user is that that won't
work on non-Linux hosts?

Not really. The main use case is for ppc and mips targets which have
lots of variant builds for all the various sizes and endianess.
