I'd rather some other scheme, if at all possible, because it would be
nice to build a biarch linker that automatically selected output arch
depending on input.  There is code in ld to do that (whether it works
or not I can't say), but it is overridden by OUTPUT_FORMAT in scripts.
So if we got rid of all OUTPUT_FORMAT statements in scripts it might
be possible to dipense with -m arch on ld command line.
