I think that there are two issues here:
 * What are the default erase and kill characters?
 * What are the erase and kill characters used by the console?

I think that the default erase and kill characters should be the same
across all architectures.  

But different machines have different consoles with different
keyboards.  If it makes sense for the console (or any tty device) to
have different erase and kill characters than the default, then they
should be set in the gettydefs file.

You are not going to find a set of erase/kill characters that everyone
will be happy with.  PC keyboards's have a nice big backspace key,
while a VT100 has rubout.
