-moutline-atomics allows LSE instructions to be used if available when
compiling for ARMv8.0 instruction set. It's enabled by default on newer
compilers, such as gcc-10.1. Enable the option so that earlier compiler
versions that support it but don't enable it by default build with it.

Why is it added only to the target "default"?

Because 'default' target generates Armv8.0 instruction set which doesn't include LSE extension.
The flag enables LSE instructions when code runs on platforms that implements LSE extension.
For other targets, machine specific 'mcpu' or 'march' flags are used. LSE extension availability can be inferred from the given flags.
So there is not need to add '-moutline-atomics' to them.

OK
It's not obvious that the -mcpu flags implicitly include it.
What do you think adding such explanation in a v2?

Agree. Better to add explanation that this flag benefits distribution build which uses Armv8.0-a as baseline.

-moutline-atomics allows LSE instructions to be used if available when
compiling for ARMv8.0 instruction set. It's enabled by default on newer
compilers, such as gcc-10.1. Enable the option in case an earlier
compiler version is used for the default build that lacks either -mcpu
or -mtune which would otherwise enable it.

Applied, thanks
