.SH ABOUT $ARCH
You may be wondering why $ARCH is not a configuration setting in the
sbopkg.conf file. The reason is that it does not have to be. First, sbopkg
does some checking (using 'uname -m') to determine what the system's
architecture is. If the architecture is x86_64, then sbopkg automatically
sets ARCH=x86_64. If the architecture is not x86_64, then sbopkg will inherit
any $ARCH settings in the environment. This means, the user can add, for
example, 'export ARCH=i686' in their .bashrc or similar file, or the user can
also execute something in the root terminal like 'export ARCH=i686 && sbopkg'.
The user can also manually add it to their sbopkg.conf file if they wish.
Finally, if $ARCH is not set by the user and sbopkg does not detect an x86_64
system, then $ARCH will default to whatever $ARCH is set to in the SlackBuild
scripts.
