This PR introduces a predicate so the package flags can be added in a generic way.

Things done

I've run into a few packages that need an extra flag on platforms
where `int` has more bits than `void*` does.  I know of three such
platforms:

* [aarch64ilp32], used on both Linux and also on the [Apple Watch]
* [x32], the x86 ILP32 ABI
* [mips64n32], used on [Longsoon] and Cavium Octeon routers.

This PR introduces a predicate so the package flags can be added in
a generic way.
