It's already dead obvious since you have --target. It's already explicit
enough. Please don't invent things: either configure script already uses the
approach you use, or has something more complex and better.

Do you immediately use plugins? Can't binutils work without --enable-threads?
My point is, most users don't really bother changing these via the configure
script. I'd like to see as simple workload as can be; unless stuff breaks
without some option, I'd consider leaving its state to default, and don't even
touch it.

I suspect that we might need multilib one day, Luke knows the better. And, if
this is the case, we do --enable-multilib exactly when needed. I understand
that you want to trim and optimize the toolchain, but it's like shooting the
sparrows with a cannon.

I won't object to keeping the code as is, I'm simply trying to show the
rationale. As long as stuff works, I'm happy.
