Is it possible to administer the cluster using mosixview from a system that
is not part of the cluster?  Or, is it possible that mosix will run on
non-i386 at some point in the future?

If either of those is true, I think it should be built for all
architectures.  In the second case, it would help to shake out portability
bugs that would come up down the road.

If not, it is up to you whether you want to deal with the responsibility of
making sure that it works everywhere.
