On reflection, I think this is right. For non-shared code, either we 
should aim for a beautiful sort order by prefixing everything - 
CPU/ISA-specific code in 'cpu.$X' and OS-specific code in 'os.$Y' and 
CPU+OS-specific code in 'cpu.$X.os.$Y' - or we should not bother to 
prefix anything and that would be fine.
