how does that help !COMPATIBLE_HOST (of syslinux) except aarch64?

I meant you to
def mycheck(d):
  h = d.getVar('COMPATIBLE_HOST', True)
  if h:
    t = d.getVar('TARGET_ARCH', True)
    if re.match(h, t):
      return 0
  return 1

and use that to set NOISO ?= "${@mycheck(d)}"
(modulo typos and testing)

I think something like that should work and i think this would be
preferable to adding all those upcoming NOISO_baz
See what i mean?

thanks,
