Analyzing source code is independent of machine architecture. My guess is that if a company actually is capable of analyzing binary code they only do it for the highest volume instruction sets. My guess is that attackers will go after machines they feel are less protected. Efforts which merely change attacker behavior are a waste of time.
Nope. If I'm running x86 boxes, I'd be more than happy to have to
attackers move to SPARC.
Besides, once a bug is found in the x86 binary, the problem gets fixed
in the source and/or compiler.
