I dn't know if this is a good long term solution: I fear too much
duplication with having a seperate android target. I'd prefer an
FPC_ANDROID define, I don't think that it will pollute the rtl and
considering that there are a lot of arm "sub architectures" out there
having an own target for each of them isn't a good idea either. Maybe we
can even introduce some SUBARCH in the long term into our build system.
