What would be the benefit of doing this? I'm assuming that you're
trying to say:
arch > 386
so that you get the 486 ISA. The problem is that for Solaris, the ISAs
look like:
amd64 pentium_pro+mmx pentium_pro pentium+mmx pentium i486 i386 i86
sparcv9+vis2 sparcv9+vis sparcv9 sparcv8plus+vis2 sparcv8plus+vis
sparcv8plus sparcv8 sparcv8-fsmuld sparcv7 sparc
It's also a little unclear, assuming that we let this be a number, how
we would differentiate other platforms. With the example above and a
couple of successful ports of OpenSolaris, would this mean we can
install packages for i486, mk68000, PowerPC 604, and IBM 390? That
would certainly be confusing.
If we can understand what you're trying to accomplish, it might be
easier to conceive of a mechanism that would work.
