I'd like to see if Chris has an idea. Adding patches for each
architecture/bsp is not preferred. It might be that we can pick up the
target (architecture, bsp) in the build script, and add some code to
parameterize the EPICS configuration. This file-based configuration is
a little bit clunky in EPICS.
