   It would be nice if the directory structure of Emacs were such that
   you could share all source (notably .c) among networked machines of
   different architecture while also having .o's for the different
   architectures.

   You can do this using links, but I would find it handier (and cleaner)
   if it were part of the distribution.

I would like to second this wonderful suggestion.  Someone (volunteers?)
should add such a mechanism to the distribution and offer it to the FSF.

Every place I've ever used GNU Emacs could have used something like this.
