Good, and apparently no one has noticed that some options don't compile.

As I said earlier, this "please ask core for approval" argument does not work
on me anymore, sorry about that. So I'm going to commit right away now, on
whatever directly has to do with amd64.

If it shakes things, and makes you want to ask core, then go ahead, at least
I'm not the one who loses his time in that story. Good luck to get an answer
(or even consideration, I could add).
