Uses/compiler.mk does not trigger under RBPi

[José Pérez]

Hi Michelle,
thank you for your suggestion. Is this another workaround?

I mean: many port Makefiles are affected, in the sense that when built 
on Intel/AMD the ports just work because Uses/compiler.mk is sucked in 
automatically, but it is not on ARM.

So, shall I report a bug on all the ports that use COMPILER_TYPE, or is 
there a way to have ARM trigger Uses/compiler.mk?

Thank you.

Regards,
