An AM34, perhaps? So basically, the toolchain name should change from am33 to mn10300 by your argument. > People need not to be told on other, at least major, archs. There are plenty of other complications for other archs, such as 32-bit vs 64-bit, LE vs BE and other more subtle variants, so your argument isn't that compelling. > - growing new developers will have difficulties in understanding arch > name difference, You tell them, they then know. It doesn't take long. Standard practice, I suspect, will involve giving them the toolchains and basic root filesystems. The discrepancy has been around for years, and I suspect it's not going to change now. If MEI ask, I will change it.
