I have a better suggestion.
Make it ignore those suggestions *COMPLETELY* when
$ARCH != `uname -m`
$SUBARCH != `uname -m`
Since those suggestions are wrong for all cross-compilation as well,
and this is a form of cross-compilation.
{well, uname -m is wrong. I never did find a standard utility that
returned 'i386'. arch -k used to do the right thing on SunOS, but it
never did the right thing on any Linux distro}
