Overall very nice :)
grub will indeed never support anything besides i386 as it's not
developed anymore. Grub2 is the next generation effort with the goal to
make it portable, but that will probably still take some time.

A flag for architectures might indeed be helpful, though if we go that
way it should be possible to say "this spell builds only on the
following architectures" or "this spell builds everywhere _except_ the
following architectures".
