/me cries: the comment character is arch-specific (# on x86, @ on arm).
Looks like "//" works, but only at the start of a new line, and ";" is
seen as a new line start, so ";//" should work everywhere... I'll send
a v2, build and runtested on x86 and arm, and we'll see if the
buildbot kicks out any other cross compile failures...
