You did not reply to my e-mail on an earlier version in which I asked
some questions. I would prefer if we were not blindly passing
$(BR2_NORMALIZED_ARCH) here, can we instead handle only the cases for
which chicken does something specific based on ARCH=, and for all other
cases, pass ARCH=unused, as we used to do?

Thanks,

Thomas
