It's mentioned in the NEWS file and that bug report is very
brief so where might the information be on how to actually
implement the use of arch=('any') ?

The one thing I can glean is that any 'any' packages will
be added to all arch databases rather than have a separate
directory tree for 'any' arch packages with it's own DB.
