I thought that we were trying to reduce the amount of obj-y code in order to make life easier for multiarch (because eventually it's going to have to be compile-once anyway). And being obj-y and having the whole of cpu.h available makes it very easy to accidentally use target-specific defines and so on. But Peter C has a better grasp of the current status of multiarch than I do, so if he prefers using obj-y then I'm happy to take his recommendation. thanks -- PMM
