 So I did some source reading and it seems that CHECK_OS_VERSION is used to =
 ignore the version number of the release only, but doesn't apply to archite=
 cture.
 
 This means that there is no way to work around it via pkg_install.conf (my =
 use case here is running BUILD_DEPENDS=3Dbin-install make depends and happi=
 ly re-using prebuild earmv4 binary packages on earmv5 machine for some of t=
 he dependencies).=20
 
 Can we consider introducing new CHECK_ARCH configuration variable or extend=
 ing the meaning of CHECK_OS_VERSION?
