You mean the MAINBOARD_VENDOR / MAINBOARD_PART_NUMBER variables?

Just a minor quirk, I like the Options.lb to be as generic as possible
and stuff the board-specific options into targets/.../Config.lb as
overrides. You'll notice that all the 1-2 dozen 440BX boards have an
identical or almost-identical Options.lb, the specific variables all
being in targets/.../Config.lb.

Earlier I was planning to unify the Options.lb for them one day, adding one
copy $somewhere, and using a symlink for the other ones, but that's probably
not going to happen anymore, and I don't care enough about it anymore
either, I guess.

Would moving MAINBOARD_VENDOR / MAINBOARD_PART_NUMBER to Options.lb fix
the problem with abuild?


Uwe.
