That's a build-time configuration issue.  I've been advocating on
and off for a while now an "auto-generated platform.cf" enhancement
to the existing build system, which if done correctly would deal
with the vast majority of issues like this (and others) without
the level of work that would be required to replace the entire
build/config system.
