    add -generic flag to sac2c · 8497c5ef

    We have had issues with the build system using mtune=native to compile
    the libsac2c and the runtime libraries, making it impossible to create
    distributable packages without it breaking due to ISA incompatibilities.
    
    Changing the build system to not use mtune=native is doable, but
    involves having to filter out the mtune=native flag at the right points
    in the build. Additionally, when using different C compilers (such as
    with NVCC) we need to account for this, which may require a different
    solution for each compiler. This is non-trivial to achieve as in some
    instances the compiler is not applicable to build sac2c, but only a
    runtime lib or two.
    
    This commit uses a different method, which encodes the mtune=native flag
    into sac2crc and adds a sac2c flag (`-generic`) to toggle the effect.
    The advantage here is that we can define different flags for different
    SBIs, without affecting the build system. Furthermore, the changes to
    the build system are minimal, which involves propagating the flags to
    sac2crc and change whether libsac2c is built with mtune=native or not.
