here is the identification I propose:

arch-class-os-majorversion(-archi_specific_extension)

Given how sparse this name-space is, you'll have less than 50
different values, you might want to consider something more compact,
such as a single letter for all components, and the version number last:

X2F9    = x64-32-freebsd-9
X4F10   = x64-64-freebsd-10
A2FB9   = arm-32-freebsd-eb_oabi-9

By the time we run out of ASCII or even Unicode characters, we have
other problems.


And what is a purpose of making non-human-friendly platform identifiers? I think, you'll gain nothing by this, but will create an unnecessary complication.
