Hmm, the other ports manage to do with just a few port-specific lines in
the Makefile.in. E.g. when I made the r2k port, I just had to make a
small change in the Makefile.in copied from the z80 port to state that I
want the generic strlen() instead of a port-specific one.
But maybe there's some pic-specific issue I'm overlooking here.

P.S.: The mcs51 port library is a mess of its own though, seems even
worse than the pics, with mcs51-specific stuff in the generic files,
#ifdef'ed.
