It is quite possible for the contents to differ by, say, date, or by
timestamps being included in plain text output. Why would that render
the output arch-specific?
We where talking about *real* content... :-)
What I could imaging to happen is something like this (just an example,
but it should make my point clear):
i386:
somescript.sh
#!/usr/libexec/blabla/i386-bla-bla/bla/binary
...
x86_64:
somescript.sh
#!/usr/libexec/blabla/x86_64-bla-bla/bla/binary
...
alpha:
somescript.sh
#!/usr/libexec/blabla/alpha-bla-bla/bla/binary
...
It's hard to check something like this, isn't it? Well, as long as it's
only the interpreter line at the beginning it might be simple, but ....
But don't worry, since we do have a few arches already, such bugs should
be found quite fast and maybe we can add additional checks later :-)
