Be aware that some linux arch's don't use subarch's or the
mach-xxx syntax.  This latter appears to be limited to i386,
arm, mips and a couple others.  I don't understand the difference
well enough to know if this will matter in the long run,
but it might be worth checking/discussing with a maintainer
of one of the "other" arch's (e.g. ia64).
