Right you are, but IMHO, there should not be an explicit or implicit 
dependency on platforms in the compile process, but it the user should 
be allowed to define a set of options as he likes. Of course for any 
target platform (that might be different from the build platform) 
certain option setting will produce faster or smaller platform code than 
others.
