This should be inside @ifset Blackfin, @end ifset. Also, I would not justify your design decision here.

@ifset Blackfin
Blackfin does not support symbol assignment with @samp{=} or
@samp{=}@samp{=}.
@end ifset

Blackfin does support "==" for assignment. So I'll soon commit a patch with this:

@ifset Blackfin
Blackfin does not support symbol assignment with @samp{=}.
@end ifset

Thanks.
