What do you mean by "machine", here? 

architecture/cpu?
cpu-variant?
OS?
uname?

There exist several defines and variables in RTEMS which could be used
for such purposes.

Don't use this one - It is autoconf adding it per configure script (In
autoconf terms each configure script sets up a "PACKAGE")

Do you want to destinguish RTEMS from other OSes? 
Then you could use __rtems__ (defined by gcc).
