Two things:
- We don't ship development files with ARCHALL=1 for the exact same reason as
  Maciej outlined. I am pretty much against putting amd64-anything on Sparc,
  be it names or contents.
- The common dirs stripped in GAR are taken from the CSWcommon package from Phil.
  This is generally bad from a workflow perspective. I suggest changing this to
  having the directories coded in GAR and have a special build description to make
  a CSWcommon package out of that and feed the directory exclusion at the same time.

Best regards
