The alternative is creating a shared architecture directory, which doesn't really scale well given how these blocks can be arbitrarily reused across different architectures -- but it's still something we might have to look at depending on what else pops up that can't be cleanly shared through the current scheme. You're of course welcome to dig up the discussions in the archives when the ARM SH-Mobile code was introduced in the first place.
