A couple of minor issues in the patch:

1) "Unable to auto-detected" should be "Unable to auto-detect" or
"Unable to autodect".

2) PLATFORM should be exported to avoid a different behaviour for
autodetected and non-autodected platforms. This is currently not a
problem as the Makefile.<platform> files don't use this variable, but
it might not be true in the future if we want to support multiple
platforms in a single Makefile.
