I don't think there will be a binary for quake available for other
architektures in the near future if at all. And if there is the archi
field can be changed to arch all or arch i386+foo+bla. There will
never be a quake for all archs. Also the Quake for m68k AmigaOS that
was made by some hackers were completly stopped and outruled instead
of taking it onboard and distributing that as well. It doesn't seem
likely that they will do other architektures to me.
May the Source be with you.
