OK, I have thrown the towel wrt developing at the same time for multiple 
architectures.

ATM I'm oriented toward getting support for one (x86_64), leaving the 
actual mechanism as architecture specific.

Then I can add another one or two and see what makes sense to refactor.
This approach should minimize the churning, overall.
