Alright, I was actually planning on supporting more targets later on and now 
that this didnt work I didnt want rush to add support for more targets.
I have now however changed it to not to use the per-target settings but the 
global (AM_) target.

Thanks for the demonstration! I suppose you meant "second" as that's what 
you typed but I understand.

Ok it's changed now and the new object files were built. Unfortunately this 
did not solve the asm object file problem but the error remains the same.

Thank you, good day to you too.
