Is there a good reason why CONFIG_64BIT does not activate

It works with some old toolchains and apparently there are people who
want this feature. Please feel free to propose a patch to add such a
dependency and see if there are any objections.
Interesting this was brought up today, as Kumba and I were having a
little discussion concerning this yesterday. The thing is that for
certain machines such as ip22 and ip32, booting a ELF64 kernel is
problematic, so people have to make sure they use the vmlinux.32 target.
