-# allarch is required because the files this recipe produces (html and
-# javascript) are valid for any target, regardless of architecture.  The allarch
-# class removes your compiler definitions, as it assumes that anything that
-# requires a compiler is platform specific.  Unfortunately, one of the build
-# tools uses libsass for compiling the css templates, and it needs a compiler to
-# build the library that it then uses to compress the scss into normal css.
-# Enabling allarch, then re-adding the compiler flags was the best of the bad
-# options
