The implicit 64 bit setting would always implicitly enable powerpc64 initially, so it's fine. As this case shows, it's possible that the used cpu would unset powerpc64 later if it's not default. With the culprit commit r13-4894, we always implicitly enable powerpc64 for both explicit and implicit 64 bit, it's the same as before for the explicit 64 bit case, but for the implicit 64 bit case, there is no chance for the used cpu to unset powerpc64 (like this case). To keep it consistent with the previous, the fix can be to only enable powerpc64 implicitly for explicit 64 bit, while let it be for implicit 64 bit.
