That looks like it has about two too many wildcards to hold up over time :)

I understand what you're trying to do here, and while I don't disagree
in principle, I worry that the arch specific paths vary enough that
trying to handle it here is going to be a bit of a mess.

The fact that we need a special entry for the single header under x86
tends to reinforce that.  The other additions make sense, but I think
it may be best to leave the arch specific areas alone for now.
