Well, I was just pointing out the previous thoughts line of reason. At my
environment, I do not care if the system is 64 or 32 bits anyway. I've
pre-compiled plugins that is deployed at the very same location within
/path/to/nagios/libexec, so if it's a 64bit arch, then we deploy that kind
of plugins and the same goes to 32bits archs.

So, no resource.cfg macro definitions needed to address this kind of
situation.

Cheers,
