Comment:

 Pushed.

 Thank you!

 In ''sh4'' case you don't need to add ''sh4'' as a known arch
 as there is no special code that behaves differently.

 In ''sparc64'' case you would need to add ''ArchSPARC64''
 as you need to switch on arch type to disable
 ''--relax'' as ''sparc32'' does:

 http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/blob/f48015bcac59960f6d266506a5f378c9bcf8f005:/compiler/main/DriverPipeline.hs#l2136

 changeset:9756690fe7aa26aee6955d0b720377d53170c542 introduces
 ''ArchAlpha'' and friends to set ''bewareLoadStoreAlignment = True''.
 Default for ''UnknownArch'' was ''False''.
