My first instinct to both these issues is to defer them in favour of
actually getting sound output working. On the other hand, I can see
how a little bit of forethough can save us some headaches in the
future.

Something like DSPBUILD (a boolean), below ROOTDIR, FIRMDIR, et al.?
And in firmware/Makefile:
ifneq ($(DSPBUILD),)
$(BUILDDIR)/dsp-image.h: ...
...
endif

I still see this as needing per-platform ifdefs because source files
will differ across platforms. Anyway.

Some of it has to be in a .h: I read the symbol table from the COFF
file and generate #define's that let me access variables in DSP memory
by name instead of hardcoding offsets. On the other hand, the actual
code indeed is better suited for a .c file. I just got lazy ;-) Making
xml2h.py output a .c and a .h will be the easy part.. I'll have to dig
around for examples of building a .o from a generated .c :\

Thanks for the feedback,
