There is no other port.  If there would be a port to Irix or Solaris
these definitions would be ok since they also support these models.

This is why I put this definition in the general file in wordsize-32.
I guess it's best to have a Hurd-specific version since a) other
Unices support this model and b) Hurd will hopefully support this as
well sometime in the future.
