[M3devel] cm3 -DTARGET=foo

[Jay K]

I forgot and it is worth reminding everyone:


CM3_TARGET=foo cm3
  does work
  in sh/bash/Posix
Given config files and everything else.
We do have such config files.
"everything else" means cooperative cc/ld.
At the very least, it is good for "biarch" systems:

 CM3_TARGET=I386_DARWIN cm3
 CM3_TARGET=AMD64_DARWIN cm3


For these cases though, we should probably take a hint
from others:
  cm3 -64 
  cm3 --64 
  cm3 -m64  
 (andy number of dashes, followed by optional m, followed by 32 or 64
guides target toward 32bit or 64bit variant of host or default target)

also
 CM3_TARGET=arbitrary cm3 -boot 


But there should be a command line option besides the environment.


Appe's gcc is also nice, switches like -arch ppc -arch x86 etc.


Anyway, not a big deal..

I'd like the above to work.

Or cm3 -target=foo or -target:foo.
The underlying implementation would be "like" -DTARGET=foo.

This doesn't work due to the order of evaluation, command line vs. config file vs. -D written to a file.

I don't have the change yet.

Any objection to the intent?

I wonder if it might subtlely reorder things though.
