It gets much more complicated once you get away from x86, so not sure it is really worth it. We moved away from a simple 32/64 option in buildrump in favour of more complexity/flexibility for that reason. My plan is to produce binary builds for toolchains, libraries and so on, to make it easier to use and so people dont need to care about toolchain build options unless they want to, I am inclined to actually only produce 64 bit ones for now as having multiple architectures just adds complexity, and for x86 larger memory use vs more registers is pretty much a wash.
