I had suggested two better solutions before. The point is, originally, before STL like style is popular, Is-Target_xxx is used to isolate target dependent stuff. Short of a better soln, and having done retarget and rehost for a very long life time (and still doing it now. ) I would welcome better soln's, but definitely no #ifdefs or the proliferation of that Sun
