A wise man once said: "All problems in computer science can be solved with another level of indirection". Just do it like this: CLANG_TARGET_FLAGS_arm = arm-linux-gnueabi CLANG_TARGET_FLAGS_hexagon = hexagon-linux-gnu .. CLANG_TARGET_FLAGS = $(CLANG_TARGET_FLAGS_$(ARCH)) Which is a lot denser and simpler. And then the only if-statement can be something along the lines of ifeq ($(CLANG_TARGET_FLAGS),) $(error Specify clang target flags) else CLANG_FLAGS += --target=$(CLANG_TARGET_FLAGS) endif Plus add *random handwaving* about all the details for CROSS_COMPILE and friends.
