If I am, is it reasonable to try to teach the build scripts how to avoid doing this?
As someone who cares about PowerPC and some other arches, I agree that this is a reasonable request on the face of it. I am a little concerned about the difficulty of teaching the build system to do it and I'm not sure how big the payoff is. These arch specific files are probably less than 1% of the total file count.
Right; moreover I suspect we want to compile them during validation anyways to ensure that they aren't inadvertently broken. Cheers, - Ben
