Right-o. I did actually try that initially but it gets fairly ugly if you
want to deal with the case where only a subset of the #defines exist in the
header. If breaking these archs isn't a big concern up-front, then I'm happy
just to test PT_TEXT_ADDR for each of them and be done with it. Plus, that
should take care of the sane configurations.
