Thanks for posting this: Math::Pari has a distinct configuration
process, so I need to duplicate such changes...

Added: arm ppc s390 ia64.

Is it an oversight in the first part?

BTW: what is the point of adding something which is mapped to none?
Is only the prettyprinting of the name affected by these patches?

What is the intent of this?  What happens with this arch afterwards?
It is mapped to asmarch=none if not hppa?
