Moreover, 32-bit Android systems remain widespread, and many people
build 32-bit Emacs binaries for more optimal memory utilization.  In
fact Android OEMs sometimes install 32-bit operating systems on 64-bit
capable hardware to optimize memory usage, and consequently, speaking of
the demise of 32-bit configurations is a pointless exercise.  And armv7
is not nearly so register-starved as 32-bit x86...
