They were in the keep list.
We might consider dropping hppa-som, which is an HPUX 32 bit only object
format. We'd keep ELF for the linux port.
Similarly we could consider dropping some of the other object format
support for m68k and keep ELF for the linux ports.
I've got no strong opinions on this stuff -- I only mention it because
I've worked on them in the past.
