+I would have agree with you but here those bits are just claims embedded
+in the spec.
+There's no real support for those arches since glibc wasn't build for them
+since 2006-2007 (glibc-2.4)
+
+Those spec bits are just rotten bits. that :
+- may now be irrelevant
+- have been tested with current glibc code
+- may not even apply (if there're patches too)
+
+anyway they can always be resurected if someone stands out in order
+to support one of those arches
