I think it would be best to remove the #ifdef here completely,
the PER_LINUX32 concept is not strictly tied to the emulation
of ARM binaries, it literally just changes the output of
/proc/cpuinfo and 'uname', and you can have ARM binaries with
PER_LINUX (using the arm64 uname) just like you can have
arm64 binaries running with PER_LINUX32.
