There was no Makefile.Vx in my source directory.

I followed the maze of Makefile includes to the culprit. In

${MY_EPICS_BASE}/configure/CONFIG_COMMON

there is

BUILD_ARCHS = $(EPICS_HOST_ARCH) $(CROSS1) $(CROSS2)

Changing that to

BUILD_ARCHS = $(EPICS_HOST_ARCH)

fixed the problem. (I then changed it back after compiling edm.)

I'm an EPICS newbie so I'm looking for a bit of enlightenment with these
questions:

Why would edm, or any other extension, use BUILD_ARCHS, when they will
run on the EPICS_HOST_ARCH only?

How can I tell edm, without touching stuff in ${MY_EPICS_BASE}, that it
shouldn't build for the target(s), only the host? I tried mucking with
stuff in ${EPICS_EXTENSIONS}/configure and ${EPICS_EXTENSIONS}/src/edm
to no avail.

Is there an extension that is a shining example of the proper use of
the EPICS 3.14 build system?
