obviously, you did not read what oleg wrote - and modified his suggestion.
the above rule should instead be changed to:
ppc:
@ $(MAKE) ARCH=PPC debug
and the makefile should be invoked using:
make ppc
the other alternative (i forgot who wrote it) would also work (i.e.
setting the variable on the command line when running make, rather then in
the makefile).
Makefiles should not be medled with. if you try to do something
complicated - most likely you'll fail, cause the language that gmake (and
the commercial 'make' variants) supports - are very very limited.
