I am sorry for being slow, but I thought about it for a while and I
still can't come up with a realistic scenario where the host
non-neutrality of the cache matters.
Are you worried about hosts A and B (with different architecture) both
NFS-mounting server:/usr/lib/debug ? That already wouldn't work,
since e.g. libc-X.Y.Z.so.debug is not host-neutral.
Besides, it's trivial to have the cache live in architecture-specific
subdirectory, e.g. /usr/lib/debug/gdb-cache/{x86_64,i386,ppc}/
So what am I missing?
