The common files really need to be built with -mcpu flags that
make the code work on any system if you want to be able
to use just a single boot wrapper binary for all.
Yeah, it's finding those combinations that work for all the existing
toolchains out there that's the issue.  That, or making the wrapper not
compile all the platform files...  I don't know which makes more sense.
The number of files in the bootwrapper is bound to grow, there are
so many combinations that will never be used together, and we're
bumping into lots of toolchain issues, that I'm beginning to think
that paring down wrapper.a is the way to go.
