I tried moving more stuff to common.rmk many times but gave up every
time.  One of the reasons is that the sparc64 support is very
out-of-date and doesn't use common.rmk at all.  I cannot even test it
(well, I haven't tries hard).

Limiting the scope to i386 could help, but I think there is very little
code specific to all i386 platforms but not to other architectures.
