Not in this particular case. I built binutils for native x86_64-linux
--enable-targes=all. In fact, I also built 115 different cross
targets (needed to test gas reasonably well). I've now added one more
target. :)

There are cases where building with --enable-targets=all hides bugs,
for example
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2012-05/msg00219.html
> --enable-64-bit-bfd is required for full --enable-targets=all.
Always building with a 64-bit bfd hides another class of bug.
I'm not in favour of this patch. Yes, it may help first-time
contributors in testing their patches, but means yet another change in
configure options for anyone past that stage. (Hey, I tested my patch
on 32-bit i686-linux and 64-bit x86_64-linux and you say it's not
64-bit clean??)
