Well, naturally I don't know all the spells could be affected in a negative 
way.
On the -m64 issue it was noted that it a) may hurt (in future) b) without it 
some spells that won't work for 64 bit may not fail during configure but 
later.
I don't think that the second one is a major prob, since it doesn't mean 
breaking anything that otherwise would work.

As for the dropped extra flags, there _may_ be spells that try to grep CFLAGS 
for them - I'll do a search for them and have a look.

So, I am going to do what is said, fix spells (that for example should use 
SMGL_COMPAT_ARCHS instead of grepping for -m64) and commit a new archspecs to 
test.
I still would like to see the option to integrate them to stable-rc, but if 
the testing goes fine with the old ones, then one can just leave them for 
this stable.
I just cannot claim to have no bugs filed against them...


Thomas.
