Oh, you mean for the "else". I originally wanted to be able to compile
this on any architecture and wanted some dummy defaults I could
override on the command line. But now we're already restricting this
to known architectures only, so I'll send a patch turning the warning
into an error, and removing the #defines for the "else" branch above.
Sorry I misunderstood you the first time around :)
Thanks,
