Not really. There is platform.processor() from python but this doesnt 
tell you explicitly if you have a 64-bit cpu, it just returns a string 
which is the name of the processor like "Pentium III( Copermine )" on my 
system. The current checks for an intel cpu, amd cpu, or sparc cpu are 
assembly programs hardcoded into the build system. I guess someone could 
write checks for 64-bit cpus as well.

plugins.h isnt used anywhere except for tools/datedit.c and plugins.h 
for every platform is just
$ cat tools/plugins/*.inc > plugins.h
so why not just cat them into wherever the tools are going to be built 
and do #include "plugins.h" instead of #include "obj/platform/plugins.h"
