root that includes this stanza:

control:
AllowRedefinitionOf = (
 svc_openpkg_platform
)
any::
svc_openpkg_platform = ( "unknown" )
redhat_7::
svc_openpkg_platform = ( "i386-redhat7" )
redhat_6::
svc_openpkg_platform = ( "i386-redhat6" )
sunos_i86pc_5_7::
svc_openpkg_platform = ( "i386-sunos5.7" )
cygwin::
svc_openpkg_platform = ( "i386-win32" )
sunos_sun4u_5_7::
svc_openpkg_platform = ( "sparc-sunos5.7" )
sunos_sun4u_5_8::
svc_openpkg_platform = ( "sparc-sunos5.8" )
