That makes sense.

Sure.

I can't see how the toolchain selection, if set on Kconfig can't be
leveraged later to enable / disable the SAT solver, however I can
see the amount of code shuffling incurred to be an extra hurdle to
address and a preference to leave that for later.
In other words, I susepct it is still possible to evaluate to
add support for the SAT solver post toolchain kconfig integration.
Thoughts?
