Hi binutils-multiarch is currently built with support for a hardcoded list of triplets. I've changed this in Ubuntu to use --enable-targets=all [1] and used the same for the new gdb-multiarch package, but this is a bit painful as it causes some issues [2] and requires people to set the gnutarget in gdb-mutliarch [3].
So I intend to change binutils-multiarch and gdb-multiarch to --enable-targets=<all Debian-supported GNU triplets>. But the first column of /usr/share/dpkg/archtable only covers triplets suppored in Debian itself (not on debian-ports) and is documented as being there for historical reasons only. My current guess is to combine all GNU CPU names found in the second column of /usr/share/dpkg/cputable with all the GNU names found in the second column of /usr/share/dpkg/ostable, but that seems to be way more than the real Debian + debian-ports.org ports which we support. What would you folks suggest? Thanks for your input!
