I do not like the fact that you hardcoded filenames what can be on
platform dependant parts.

I have also though this issue some times and I think the best option
would be:

## common.rmk ##

normal.mod: <common files> normal_arch.lib

## arch.rmk ##

normal_arch.lib: setjmp.S <or what ever is needed for the platform.>
