You're forgetting that you're not actually doing any cross-architecture
stuff. It's much easier to fix if a pentium was considered a different
architecture than i486. It's not; hence the frustration...

In my reply to the "splitting make.conf" thread on -arch, I  mentioned
something I called modes. Whether that's a good name is totally
irrelevant at this time. What is relevant is that modes *may* save us
here. Not that it'll help us for 4.3, because it'll probably involve
some serious work, but it's one possible way to have cross-building be
more finegrained than only looking at the architecture. No doubt, other
solutions will exist as well that may even be more simple...
