I do not see why you want this. I think that adding an "amiga"
define at the userlevel is actually a bad idea. As is adding an
"da30" define.

I think it is good that these port-specific symbols aren't exported
to userland. Please don't pull this nasty trick. Instead, aim for
binary compatibility in the m68k land.
