I don't see any reason why they should be enabled for alpha and hppa
while disabled for other arches. It should be either on or
off universaly, right? Well, possibly with the exception of
arm and some flavours of other architectures that seem to have
fairly minimal configs.
Does anyone know of any reason why this should not be made so?
