Symlinks seem to work fine as a temporary measure; I merged the
Mandrake i386 tree with the /usr/lib/xemacs tree and then moved
xemacs-packages to become i386-Mandrake-linux and symlinked that as
/usr/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages ... yes it violates your architecture
rule, but if at such time we get XEmacs to agree to that rule, the
groundwork is ready for the switch.

Is there /really/ architecture-dependent code in those files?  I
hadn't though that possible with elisp, but I suppose it's probably
true.
