Great!
Could you please send the diff?

If it doesn't work by now - I can't say not looking at your changes.

Hmm... I belive that these defines are set by build environment and we
shouldn't need to wory about who exactly is responsible for setting
them. The mechanism is probably a bit complicated - just imagine
crosscompilations and the like.

But getting back to your problem - AFAIK __arm__ should be defined
while you're doing build for arm.
