My point is, that nomenclature is not sensible, only commonly used. Though, I see no problem in supporting both TARGET_PLATFORM=foo and TARGET_ARCH=bar for the people that have a preference towards either of them.

this is not a beauty contest for architecture names. this is about easy and concise categorization of our sources and targets. and starting from there, using the "most commonly used" name for a particular purpose makes very much sense.


so, what is

cpu
machine
arch
machine_arch
platform

and how do they relate?

cheers
