You will of course be printing that error when run on a 64-bit host.

If you're going to go this way, rather than changing to rely on libffi,
then you'll also need to detect TCG_TARGET_EXTEND_ARGS for 64-bit hosts.

Or perhaps skip that detection and define it always.  It's more likely
to be right than not doing it.  This will break if MIPS64 were added,
but then we'd have to extend tcg_gen_callN for that anyway.
