I really don't think so, actually. The way the -include stuff works
now is that the glue code is inlined in the same place that the
assembly object file is added to the build object list, so it gels
together cleanly, as the thing is defined and set in one single place.
I could go back to the ifdefs - and even make them as clean as
possible - but I think that puts more things in more places and is
therefore more confusing. The -include system now works extremely
well.
