Please do not use the v2-build64only branch as I already merged and
enhanced the functionality in the main v2 branch. Do you still see
this behaviour in v2 with BUILD64_ONLY? If yes I would consider this
a bug as things other than in the MERGE_DIRS should be excluded for
extra ISAs *only* if they are provided by the default ISA.


Best regards
