So I made changes to the following files
config.b
* Added recognition of new CPU arch's
* Keep from clobbering arguments when using buildall.bat
build.bat
* Added recognition of new CPU arch's
buildall.bat
* Added new CPU arch's as build targets
mkfiles/generic.mak
* Added recognition of new CPU arch's and translation to wcc options
mkfiles/watcom.mak
* Added new CPU arch's to fallback arch test
These are the kernels that get compiled out of buildall.bat
