   Has anyone given any thought to a fix for this? Presumably, if
you have server access you could do the union on there and export
the union point, but client unions would certainly be good to have.

   I don't know about that, but I imagine you would only need one
union per architecture. Just do a union -b mount of the src
directory on various arch directories.
