My thinking is that if that were a problem in practice, --enable-64-bit-bfd would already
have such a problem, but I couldn't find anything in gas's configure rejecting that option
for any target.  I looked a bit around in bugzilla and didn't find anyone complaining about gas
32-bit vs 64-bit behavior on 32-bit archs, and didn't find anything, but admittedly
I may have not searched properly.
