There's a (fine?) distinction between the usage of IGNORE (which
*_FOR_ARCHS drives) and BROKEN.  The former is more of a statement
of "it will never work"; the latter is more of a statement of "it
doesn't work right now."

So, in my own patches for e.g. sparc64, I use

.if ${ARCH} == "sparc64"
BROKEN=         Does not compile on sparc64
.endif

unless the port bails out of config with "arch not supported", or it's
clearly i386-hardware-related, or something like that.

I recognize that this may be a matter of personal taste.
