Description
When swapping to the GCC4 compiler using 'setarch x86' all environment changes in ~/.profile are lost. This could be fixed by rescanning the file at each swap.

setarch starts a new shell session, which is apparently not a login shell, so the .profile is not read. But, the .bashrc will, I think?

Put the following code in ~/.bashrc :
# Shortcut for building alias hp="haikuporter -S -j8 --no-dependencies --no-source-packages"
and can now use the 'hp' shortcut even when GCC4 is selected.
Solved, thank.

setarch should still be changed to start an interactive shell by default.

Testing here, setarch does read my bash_rc file, so it appears it is being invoked as an interactive shell. However, not as a login shell, which is required for it to source /etc/profile, etc.
Should we change it to be a login shell when invoked with no arguments? One would get the banner printed again... not sure if that would be considered an issue. Perhaps we could detect we're not the primary arch, and change the banner to indicate that?
