As a first step we might want to concentrate on stuff outside of the MD cod=

It's understood that i386 and amd64 share quite a bit of code e.g.  I'm not=

sure that these cases are easy to fix without major revise of the MD parts =

the build infrastructure - what doesn't mean that we shouldn't look at it i=

the long run.
