It doesn't.

At least modifying the primary platform with --with-boinc-platform= doesn't 
work (in 7.0.27), and given the logic in detect_platforms() in 
client/cs_platforms.cpp the same should be true for alternative platforms on 
Linux etc.:

     if (support64) {
         add_platform("x86_64-pc-linux-gnu");
     }
     if (support32) {
         add_platform("i686-pc-linux-gnu");
     }

     if (!(support64 || support32)) {
         // Something went wrong. Assume HOSTTYPE and HOSTTYPEALT
         // are correct
         add_platform(HOSTTYPE);
#ifdef HOSTTYPEALT
         add_platform(HOSTTYPEALT);
#endif
     }

Could this please be fixed such that when boinc is configured for a certain 
platform name, this platform name is used as the primary platform, and 
likewise for an alternative platform name?

Best,
Bernd
