Does using a non 64b triple produce the same failure?

There's a block in  arch/powerpc/Makefile:
248 cpu-as-$(CONFIG_40x)    += -Wa,-m405
249 cpu-as-$(CONFIG_44x)    += -Wa,-m440
250 cpu-as-$(CONFIG_ALTIVEC)  += $(call
as-option,-Wa$(comma)-maltivec)
251 cpu-as-$(CONFIG_E200)   += -Wa,-me200
252 cpu-as-$(CONFIG_E500)   += -Wa,-me500

Are those all broken configs, or is Kconfig messed up such that
randconfig can select these when it should not?
