Hi Maxim,

  [Sorry for the delay in responding to this problem].

  The simplest answer to your question is: "yes, this is the expected
behaviour".  If you use a cortex-a8 targeted toolchain you will get a binary
tagged with a cortex-a8 Tag_CPU_name.  If you want a cortex-a15 tagged binary
then use a cross toolchain specifically configured to target the cortex-a15.

  As Yuri pointed out, maybe we should be examining other tags when merging two
architecture tags.  But I suspect that this will open a can of worms that will
prove to be too difficult to manage.  Keep it simple is my advice.  Use an a8
toolchain for creating a8 binaries and an a15 toolchain for creating a15
binaries.

Cheers
  Nick
