Do we have a collection of what each of the variables are to be set for each of the platforms and compiler configurations? My comment regarding generating it as part of the compile/install phase in the Makefile is only valid for platforms which use the Makefile to do the initial build. If you give me a list of different configurations and settings I can probably get the Makefile to build it (either that or write a u++ app which queries the OS and configuration and builds one -- which would allow it to be regenerated on the fly with the one installed GCC.bm being the system default).

Well, I am simply not sure this is worth the effort. Having existing .bm, variations are minimal and usually you can have it fixed in minutes. I think it will change two or three times on each distribution max. Fixing Makefile generator to generate .bm would be take days. Fixing generated Makefiles would not solve a problem, as you would have to fix Makefile more often then to fix .bm.
