It's not just for aarch32, there's an aarch64 flavour. > specifically bare metal development, while what Pascal Stumpf provides > is gas for aarch64-openbsd platform.

Fair enough.. I'm just trying to keep a lid on the number of different binutils-based ports that we have. > Also, we'll need this port anyway as soon as other > architectures switch to clang. Better to remove the ONLY_FOR_ARCHS then (also we won't notice if it's broken unless it's enabled for an arch which we routinely build packages for, aarch64 isn't stable enough for that yet)
