Great to see this go. Every new architecture has had to update SoundLibraries.gmk
(and its earlier equivalent in <= 7), resulting in probably twice as many such
definitions in IcedTea where we build on more architectures. Removing this thus
removes one barrier to new OS/arch ports.

X_ARCH seems to be clearly unused, given ppc64 sets it to X_PPC64, but X_PPC64 is
never given a value in SoundDefs.h.
