Of course they will, because they contains source code. Of course, |
| 9 |
sometimes there will be different versions of a package marked stable in |
| 10 |
x86 and amd64, and some patch files are arch-specific, but generally most |
| 11 |
packages use the same source files whatever the architecture. I use a |

shared $DISTDIR for x86, ~x86, ~amd64 and ~ppc systems. |
