loose the ~arch state.
We weren't talking about ~arch, we were talking about -arch.
I'm talking about ~arch. And it's a fact that ~arch would get lost, so the
scenario i mentioned isn't covered.
Also, you can't compare sparc32/sparc64 to x86/amd64: sparc64 is just
a 64bit kernel with a 32bit userland. For users who want that, there
is already a keyword: x86.
Wrong again. On mips, we have 64-bit kernels with *three* different
possible userlands, n64, n32, and o32, and we do just fine (although as
of right now, we haven't bothered to make any n64 stages since they
would run slower than n32 and o32 on all of our supported hardware).
Where did you read the word 'mips' in my sentence above? Please, if this is just
to make your boring evenings a bit more fun, try assing someone else.
Thanks in advance,
