Thanks J for the comment. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to share files among different architectures' preboot environment. We have the choices either to have each architecture define its own copies or the decompressor defines them. I believe the former is preferable. As Lasse also pointed out, this way any specific architecture could provide an architectural dependent optimized version, if it chooses to.
