$ write sys$output f%getsyi("ARCH")
%DCL-W-UNDSYM, undefined symbol - check validity and spelling
 \F%GETSYI\
$ write sys$output f$getsyi("ARCH")
%DCL-W-IVKEYW, unrecognized keyword - check validity and spelling
 \ARCH\
$ write sys$output f$getsyi("ARCH_NAME")
x86_64

But OK.   So now we have something to start coding to.  Not that we 
know all of the differences that we'll be coding here, beyond the 
obvious stuff like the object and binary formats...

Did the various associated symbols make it into V8.4-1H1; the 
SYI$K_ARCH_* stuff in $SYIDEF, et al?  (Looks like $HWDEF is 
unmaintained or retired, too.)

A more general question will be the product name, if that's been 
decided: OpenVMS X86_64?  OpenVMS X86?  OpenVMS X64?
