Well, it is not relevant / equivalent to any of the four symbols that caused the warnings that this thread is about, at least.
> then why/how do we want A to depend on platforms _other_ than X? The expression means: 'A' can be enabled on all platforms. Except on platform_X, there it can only be enabled if helper_N is built too. [...] No. I meant "(X && N_ON_X) || Any_one_platform_other_than_X" above.
