It is ok for me, thanks ;-)

I thought somebody may add mips64 support soon, but we do only have mips
currently, it is fair to not use mips64 toolchain.

Ok, what about further add x86_64 as the default variant for x86 (like ppc for
powerpc)? and then it is able to only resereve the variables for x86_64. I have
prepared a patch for this goal in our new tinyconfig patchset, it will further
avoid adding the same nolibc-test-x86.config and nolibc-test-x86_64.config.
