Note that we don't have architecture-specific man page hierarchies as
mentioned in that section of the FHS. Incidentally, I think putting
those in /usr/share/man/i386 etc. is a misfeature - why not use
/usr/lib/man for programs only available on the current architecture,
like everything else architecture-specific? Or is the intention that you
can install man pages for i386-only programs on an Alpha?
