IMO we are more close to ARM64 for the aspect that there are no libc
(glibc or musl) releases lacking GNU hash support, so I prefer the ARM64
way.
Maybe this should be changed for some of other architectures (RISC-V and
C-SKY?) as well because I guess the only reason they used "both" was
"hey, without this the self tests don't work on Debian" but this is
resolved now. Adding a few recipients and Cc for discussion.
