Maybe we could: * Define all the supported architectures in (gnu platforms). We already have ARM and Hurd defined there. * Define %supported-systems and %supported-targets lists constructed by parsing the <platform> records. * Use those lists to check the values passed to --system and --target arguments. * Add --list-available-systems and --list-available-targets arguments for all the commands supporting --system and --target arguments. WDYT? In the meantime we can close that one I guess. Thanks, Mathieu
