Did you manually edit the Makefile or regenerate it from the Makefile.fpc?
If the former then your changes at the top will be overwritten by the next
makefile regeneration.

Also attached a patch that checks whether the SEXT instruction is available

If SLLI and SRAI are supported by the other processors supported by FPC
then you don't need to check for the processor type, checking against the
capability for SEXT is enough. If some processor does not support SLLI or
SRAI either then this would need to be a capability as well.
