There are many people who works on multiple architectures.  As for me,
I work on both x86 and MIPS, and I always specify ALLSOURCE_ARCHS="x86
mips" when building tags/cscope databases.  I think this would be a
useful feature for these people;-)

Anyway, it is dependent on your decision.

Maybe just because it is undocumented?
