That sounds like a good idea.  After further consideration, it didn't 
seem right to break consistency
with existing code due to the presence of mips64 or s390x in the 
--enable-targets list.

Wouldn't this also be possible on 32-bit targets with large file support 
and why can't these
targets support both armaps automatically?
