[PD] compiling externals on ARM

[katja]

Hello Ali,

A while ago I've compiled home-brew Pd externals on Raspberry Pi and
PengPod Linux tablet, and found that for each ARM processor type you
can identify them by their proper name as returned by command uname
-m. For RPi this is armv6l and for PengPod armv7l. So I could define
individual flags for those ARM types in the makefiles.

There is no general approach to this, as makefiles in various Pd
extended libs can be very different. In the template makefile which is
used for many libs, the operating system is tested first with uname
-s. If it is Linux, the processor type is found with uname -m and
stored in variable CPU, which seems to be used for target 'showsetup'
only, not for setting specific flags. Anyway, if you get "No rule to
make target xxx.pd_linux" when trying to build a lib with template
makefile, I wonder what you get from your Udoo board with command
uname -s?
