It will be necessary to take account of Andreas's review comments as well 
as mine.

The most important bits to get in before the freeze would of course be 
changes to existing architecture-independent files - there were several 
places I noted in my review that some changes did not seem appropriate for 
AArch64-specific makefiles without an AArch64-specific reason explained in 
a comment, and if those changes are to be made to architecture-independent 
makefiles (which I'd guess is more likely to be correct) then they should 
be sent, with self-contained rationale, before the freeze.

Changes to add new definitions to elf.h don't have the same risk of 
breaking things for other architectures, and of course entirely new 
port-specific files are safe to add.
