I tried moving more stuff to common.rmk many times but gave up every time. One of the reasons is that the sparc64 support is very out-of-date and doesn't use common.rmk at all. I cannot even test it (well, I haven't tries hard). Limiting the scope to i386 could help, but I think there is very little code specific to all i386 platforms but not to other architectures. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
