I might be wrong, but I think that code is Peter's. I agree that
having the per-port makefiles set it seems simpler (or maybe move
it to the template files, and have the configure script define the
variable?)
However, does that help any with this requirement? If the core makefile
logic becomes platform independent for this, then it's harder to see where
to squeeze in an extra variable setting.
