Archs aren't standard. On sparc, for example, only testing on v8 is
insufficient. On mips it's even worse because a single keyword covers
big and little endian, 32 and 64 bit. It should be down to the
individual arch teams to decide their policy and have it documented in
the devmanual (which some of them have done already).
