The main issue is to prevent <machine/elf.h> from fixing the word size (32 or 
64) so that we can use both elf32 and elf64 in the kernel. Since the kernel 
doesn't use Auxinfo, we can probably leave the _ElfType(Auxinfo) in there. It 
just puts off the problem until we want to build an ILP32 userland though.
