I used the trick I learned from the end of the existing Makefile...

[root at ps3 devel]# tail -4 Makefile
compile compile-short: DIST_DEFINES += --target $(shell uname -m)

ppc64: DIST_DEFINES += --without kdump
ppc: DIST_DEFINES += --without smp


Now I just have to remember never to commit the Makefile :)
