Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Could you refer me to the specific documentation you're talking about? It
 should not be a problem to build a perl module for x86_64 only if perl
 itself was built for x86_64 and i386. This works fine for a whole lot of
 other software; I don't see why perl should be different.

 I'm not suggesting you remove ExtUtils::Embed; "perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e
 whatever" should continue to return what it does now, but minus the -arch
 flags which it should not return for the reasons explained in the wiki
 page I linked to above. It's not particularly efficient to expect every
 perl module to patch this when the correct place to patch it is at the
 source -- perl itself. The only file in perl5.8 that I found that contains
 -arch flags is Config_heavy.pl, so I'm just proposing we
 [attachment:perl5.8-arch.diff remove the -arch flags] from that.
