I agree, that is ugly.

Just do it in the Makefile. We can add __arch_notrace, and then in the
Makefile define it with the arch.

ifeq ($(ARCH), MIPS)
	CFLAGS_foo.o = -D__arch_notrace=notrace
endif

And we can simply define __arch_notrace in a header:

#ifndef __arch_notrace
# define __arch_notrace
#endif

I much rather uglify the Makefile than the code.
