Yes. For active development where you don't want to re-run configure
all the time that could be a pain. I was thinking more just for
automated builds.

I don't like it a lot, but it's not horrible, and it does solve the
problem with supporting new dirs.

I think this is very slow. The stuff I added for .sub files was a big
performance regression.
What if we put the *.o files for arch asm in the arch dirs rather than
in the main src dirs. Is there some clean way we could write a rule to
remove the base .o files from OBJS when the arch-specific .o files are
there?
