# For host tools, the objdir also reflects the host architecture.

1.  This isn't just for host tools -- it's for other things inside the
source tree (i.e.  /usr/games/boggle, where the dictionary thing blew up,
which led me to discover the misnamed obj.* dir).

2.  Even if it were for host tools, wouldn't that also cause problems
with building for multiple architectures at the same time?

Either way, I posit it is a bug.  Shall I submit it as such?
