I'm sorry for this 'dirty' code Filip. I saw that there were already some pieces of code doing that (just like the armv7 if above PLATFORM_IOS) and then I though it was the right way to do. To be honest, I tried to add a command line option to offlineasm which flagged that the target was iOS. However, I could not find a easy way to do that.

Yes, it would be enough. What do you think about adding the following constant at arm.rb?

IS_IOS = ((RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /darwin/i) != nil)

Sounds good?

Thanks.
