NAME

architecture_independent -- A build check method that ignores changes in architecture

USAGE

build_check architecture_independent

DESCRIPTION

The architecture_independent method is exactly like the exact_match method except that it will not cause a rebuild if the architecture changes. This method is intended for architecture independent files.

Some files that you might think are architecture independent are actually not. For example, the output of Solaris lex will not compile on Linux, or at least it wouldn't last time I tried.
