These should not be set as environment variables, they should be defined in the configure/RELEASE file of your application.

Well...

While definitions of external modules like ASYN should always go into

the configure/RELEASE file (it is named RELEASE because it defines the

exact releases of external modules that you are using), EPICS_HOST_ARCH

is meant to be set in the environment.

While setting it in configure/RELEASE might work, the host architecture

is rather a property of the host than a definition of an external module.

As soon as you put your sources on a network drive and compile it for

multiple host architectures inside the same structure, setting the host

architecture in configure/RELEASE is obviously not a good idea.
