I find the finer points of Implies ordering rather confusing, but one
thing that would be in favour of any enhancement to the scheme would be if
it avoids the need for such files as
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc32/power7/Implies (which says
powerpc/powerpc32/power7/fpu
powerpc/powerpc32/power7
) - I'm not sure exactly what ordering issue that is addressing, but it
would be good to have a clear explanation for both that and the present
x32 issue (actually saying what the salient difference is between two
orderings, and what files that difference matters for).
