binutils uses --enable-64-bit-bfd even on x86

I’m not sure that this is a bug. But I note that our binutils 2.32.2-r0 APKBUILD always configures with “—enable-64-bit-bfd”, even on x86. Just thought I’d call attention to this, so that someone might confirm that yes, this is what we want.

From what I could gather in a round of googling, this isn’t really recommended. But neither have I found anyone saying it’s strictly incorrect.
