NO!  We don't want separate make binaries for cross-compilation.
That would make writing multitarget makefiles very hard.  The
predefined defines are target attributes and thus belongs in the
compiler.

Now, it's definitely correct that the symbol __amiga__ should be
very sparingly used, but there's no need to take it out of the
compiler because of that.
