If the goal is to make the tarball as small as possible for some
reason, you might be able to find a few more files that're specific
to other architectures/platforms.  I find some value in being able
to see source for other platforms and don't really care if I have
to check out/download a few KB more to do so.

I'm not sure what else to say here.

If I were a Better Human Being, I would care about this.  (At least, I assume
that I would; I'm just guessing, of course.)

The only code in CCL that invokes these scripts does so via "sh -c ...".  I
try to imagine someone being stumped (or even mildly inconvenienced) by this
and I know that I should be able to, but I just can't.  Sorry.
