About Dialyzer and its dependencies

Hi all,

I'm trying to include dialyzer in my application and I've noticed that
one of its dependencies (wx) was missing an .app file. I've also noticed
this has been fixed in the 'dev' branch of OTP.

Still, another dependency (hipe) has something strange in its .app file:

Lots of these modules seems to be architecture-dependent and I'm
obviously missing most of them. Why they are listed in the .app file?
This is what I get when trying to build everything:

Creating boot script
{{module_not_found,hipe,hipe},
 {hipe,'$$ignore$$',hipe,"3.7.5","lib/hipe-3.7.5/ebin"}}
{{module_not_found,hipe,hipe_adj_list},
 {hipe_adj_list,'$$ignore$$',hipe,"3.7.5","lib/hipe-3.7.5/ebin"}}
