Ahh, I didn't realize people did that.

I assume (but am too lazy to check) that UML probably does something 
similar for its arch-specific stuff.

So yeah, it's probably more pain than it _should_ be, for reasons like 
that.

But I suspect that things like <asm-sparc/foo.h> may be because sparc64 
would actually like to add another -Iarch/sparc/include (until it 
eventually can get rid of the thing _entirely_, of course, as it gets 
unified under one architecture)
