I think we'd have to put the define in Makefile.global, which seems like
overkill ... but OTOH, seeing that it's textually in two places in
backend/Makefile already, maybe that's the best way. The alternative is
to stick a comment in each place referencing the other(s) ...

I agree, that's right out. Hardwired it shall be.
