 Well, for Linux it seems appropriate to use a kernel's configuration to
select run-time behaviour -- in this case it's CONFIG_MIPS64 that was
selected by a user that matters (i.e. that we use 64-bit addressing) and
not a compiler's configuration.  Just the opposite to what's expected in
the userland.
