This is the list of architectures for which mame "should" work probably
without issues. Ie, the rest are plagued with memory alignment stuff.

If mess had its architecture line different to mame's, it was by error,
and I just changed it to any.

However, we need to settle on building binaries that might not work (due
to these memory problems) or just stick to those architectures that don't
experiment these problems. I'd say let's stick with any and try to fix the
fallout.

Yes.

Let's upload 0.143, and when we see what works and what doesn't, I'll do a
new upload matching the list of working arches, until we get some more
going.
