I'm not a fan of the loop to build the ifdeffery. It is a duplication
of what we have in tools/include/nolibc/arch.h and horrible to look at.
Can we stick this into a reusable header file?
Something along the lines of this:

	/* asm/foo.h */
	#define _NOLIBC_PER_ARCH_HEADER "foo.h"
	#include "_nolibc_include_per_arch_header.h"


	/* _nolibc_include_per_arch_header.h */
	#if defined(__i386__)
	#include CONCAT("asm-arch-x86/", _NOLIBC_PER_ARCH_HEADER)
	#elif
	...

However, so far I couldn't get it to work.
Also it would be great if we can use it for the current arch.h, too.
