Sounds reasonable to me. I think the proper place would probably be in
the "Target options" sub-menu, in "Target optimisations", just before
the inclusion of "arch.in.2".

That's deliberately not handled.

So, an option rename is not caught (if that's what you were thinking).
But I don't think this should be a show-stopper.

Sounds reasonable to me, too; just below (STATIC_TOOLCHAIN) "Build Static
Toolchain". Beware, STATIC_TOOLCHAIN is also defined in config/cc/gcc.in.2.
