The upstream name is indeed ridiculous, but actually because arm*-*-linux-gnu* configury is already such a mess in many places, having a clean slate is technically useful, so I have been persuaded not to start a (probably doomed anyway) fight with upstream for 'arm64-linux-gnu' eveywhere, even though that would have been much nicer for users.
