match_priority can't be used to select among targets to suit your
preferences (except in your own private sources). After all, other
people have different preferences. match_priority is there only to
select among bfd targets where some are truly a better match, for
example, an object file that matches both elf32-powerpc and elf32-big
should not select the generic elf target.
