While editing some Makefiles I was wondering what people thought
of using symlinks to processor dependent files instead of nested
ifdefs in Makefiles?

For starters, make arch/ppc/kernel/head.S a symlink to the appropriate
one in that directory, and derive the name to use from one of the
config options.  I thought I would ask before demonstrating the change.

Also, include/asm is just a lymlink to asm-${arch}.

Yes, and ARM goes and makes a few other config-dependant symlinks.  So
there's precidence (and it'd be easy to setup too, more or less).
