Comment (by Chris Johns):

 I am not sure how clean `rtems-ld` is for 64bit. Adding the machine type
 is easy but it could masking hidden issues.

 The `libelf` code is built for 32bit and not 64bit as at the time there
 was only 32bit arch's. I am not sure how this code goes handling 32bit
 archs when built for 64bit. Also `libdl` and `rtems-ld` would need changes
 to make sure it is 64bit clean.
