Build processors are always going to be complex due to us supporting 
multiple platforms.

Adding in an extra address width, really isn't an issue.

Our only problems are related to dmd's backend and Optlink and I 
wouldn't be surprised if it still supported m68k (although I couldn't 
find anything referencing it). But Optlink is now going away so all of 
those issues are going away hopefully in this decade.
