1 Consider this hypothetical KEYWORDS specifier I generated merging some
2 gx86 and prefix content:
3
4 KEYWORDS="~alpha ~amd64 ~arm ~arm64 ~hppa ~ia64 ~m68k ~mips ~ppc
5 ~ppc64 ~s390 ~sh ~sparc ~x86 ~amd64-fbsd ~sparc-fbsd ~x86-fbsd
6 ~ppc-aix ~x64-freebsd ~x86-freebsd ~hppa-hpux ~ia64-hpux ~x86-interix
7 ~amd64-linux ~ia64-linux ~x86-linux ~ppc-macos ~x64-macos ~x86-macos
8 ~m68k-mint ~sparc-solaris ~sparc64-solaris ~x64-solaris ~x86-solaris"

10 I don't see a lot of stuff like the above ... well, anywhere. So ...
11 is it wrong? I'm at a loss as to why it would be.
12
13 Perhaps, is it SOP to rely on prefixes accepting gx86 keywords from
14 non-prefix arch'es they correspond to? Doesn't that tend to defeat
15 the whole purpose of having prefix-specific keywords as we move toward
16 a single-shared-tree future?

18 tia for any insights!
