Pardon me for not recalling the thread but "ARCH=all" means what it
says and not "binaries=none", just as ARCH=i386 does not mean it
contains only i386 files and no amd64. Provided that a package
works correctly on all architectures (through some mechanism like
iaexec) then it's suitable for all architectures (or those stated).
Interestingly the man page for pkginfo(4) makes no mention of "all":
"Third party application software
should restrict itself to ARCH values from the following
Solaris-supported instruction set architectures (uname
-p): sparc, i386, and ppc."
Of course isalist could always end with "all" or "any", assuming some
generic exec is provided.
