setarch cannot set all listed architectures

Hi,

The man page of setarch says for the option --list: "List the architectures
that can be set."  However...

$ ./setarch --list   
uname26
linux32
linux64
i386
i486
i586
i686
athlon
x86_64
ia64

$ ./setarch x86_64 uname -m
setarch: x86_64: Unrecognized architecture

Huh?

$ ./setarch ia64 uname -m
setarch: ia64: Unrecognized architecture

$ ./setarch linux64 uname -m
i686

$ ./setarch --version
setarch from util-linux 2.25.548-fe2c9

Maybe --list should not be listing x86_64 and ia64 on this machine?
Or maybe the error message in these cases should say "Cannot set
the requested architecture" instead?

Benno
