Subject: Can't Get Rid Of "_architecture" !

Does anyone know how to get Synopsys to not append

  _architecture, architecture_2, architecture_3, etc. 

to the architecture name when writing structural VHDL netlists?  (We are back 
annotating delays from our ASIC vendors tools (LSI Logic), which requires the
architecture name to be "structural_view".  I have changed the variable:

   vhdlout_architecture_name to "structural_view"

but Synopsys appends _architecture, _architecture2, etc. to the architecture
names.

Example:

  architecture structural_view of TOP is
       [ stuff deleted ]
  end structural_view;

  architecture structural_view_architecture of SUBMODULE is
       [ stuff deleted ]
  end structural_view_architecture;
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^  ---- >  I don't want this!

  architecture structural_view_architecture2 of NEXTSUBMODULE is
       [ stuff deleted ]
  end structural_view_architecture2;
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  ---- >  I don't want this!
