build system / building for all targets

So whatever we do in the future, especially with the small code size we deal, I would like to keep it the way that by default we build every image for every target. We can have a TARGET=xxx as an option. This way the user can select to deviate from the default, i.e. an optimization. I understand your concern is not about build time but about the fact that different boards might #define things differently. This indeed needs to be fixed, and I think we should then probably put our .o files out of the source tree, and dynamically create a build-compal_e88 directory which contains all the compiler output for that target. If anyone wants to work on something like this, I would be happy to merge the patches. But from my point of view the default make file target should then still build all the .c files for all the targets.
