It doesn't guess because you can provide correct information  through
the  documented  ways. I think the make just does what you tell it to
do...

First, the  quoted  document  (DULG)  is  more  than  just  the  ELDK
documentation.  It's  the  manual, and FAQ and some more about U-Boot
and Linux und the rest of the world. You are expected to read it ;-)

Second, the ELDK is more than just PPC, it also covers ARM and MIPS.

Not only by me - many people contributed one way or another  (and  if
only by asking FAQ's ;-)
