Here's an alternative to conditional symbolic links:
Make a program called 'machine' which senses machine type and exec's
argv[0] from a machine-specific directory.  Then make hard links to 'machine'
for any program you need to tailor for the processor.
We use this on our Suns for dbx and number-crunching programs; it works well.
