For C++, the default pointer size should have remained 32.
It was a mistake to change the default from what it was on Alpha and IA64.

There is a lot of VMS-developed C++ code that expects a pointer size of 32,
so in the case I cited, that compilation qualifer will remain forever, because
the code will not change.
