Not a good idea. It sets a bad precedent that the target vector order
can be changed to suit poorly written code. Next thing you'll be
wanting x86_64_elf64_fbsd_vec to sort before x86_64_elf64_vec, or
someone else will want something similar for other targets, and we'll
have breakage if the vector order is changed.
