OK.  If I've understood you correctly, the difference between that
and (2) is that you wouldn't have the dummy definitions of the
VXWORKS_GOTT_* macros in arm.h, etc.  Is that right?

So by appropriate targets, do you mean all arm, i386, etc. targets?
It's just that if there are no definitions of the VXWORKS_GOTT_* macros,
you'll get a compilation error.
