To clarify, that was a slightly tongue-in-cheek response, but I
do actually feel strongly enough that we shouldn't create new
wrong executables that I'd rather we left the bugs here unaddressed
than try to fix them with a lot of new softmmu executables.

Yes, we fixed configure to sanity check user target-list arguments
some time last year. Note that the list of valid targets is driven
by looking at what files exist in default-configs/, so you'll want
to delete any stale or local files you have there from previous
versions of this patchset.
