Nice tutorial! I would prefer option (2) too. I wonder will it work

cdl_option CYGBLD_BUILD_FOO_ARM {
    requires { is_substr(CYGBLD_GLOBAL_COMMAND_PREFIX, "arm" }
    compile arm_version.S
}

cdl_option CYGBLD_BUILD_FOO_I386 {
    requires { is_substr(CYGBLD_GLOBAL_COMMAND_PREFIX, "i386" }
    compile x86_version.S
}

Thank you,
