Thanks. To start (warning: the following is just a bunch of guesses,
many of which are almost certainly wrong):
i386-linux-gnu: Intel ia32 ABI, ELF, Linux syscalls, glibc 2.x.
psABI is documented in the System V ABI Intel386 architecture
processor supplement: http://www.sco.com/developers/devspecs/
x86_64-linux-gnu: Likewise, but using the AMD64 psABI as documented
in abi.pdf: http://x86-64.org/documentation/
sparc-linux-gnu: Likewise, but with the SPARC psABI as documented
in psABI3rd.pdf: http://www.sparc.com/standards/
Debian uses the v8plus ABI, but I think that is
backward-compatible with the old svr4 ABI and doesn't have to be
part of the definition.
sparc64-linux-gnu: Likewise, but with the SPARC v9 64-bit psABI.
Not sure where the reference documentation is for that.
alpha-linux-gnu: Likewise, but with the Tru64 UNIX Calling Standard
for Alpha Systems:
http://www.openwatcom.org/ftp/devel/docs/alpha%20calling%20standard.pdf
m68k-linux-gnu: Likewise, but with the Motorola 68000 Family
Processor Supplement to the System V ABI which doesn't seem to
be available oneline. (?)
arm-linux-gnueabi: ARM's "new" GNU EABI for Linux, soft float, 32 bit.
Documented at http://wiki.debian.org/ArmEabiPort which refers to
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.ihi0042a/IHI0042A_aapcs.pdf
http://www.codesourcery.com/gnu_toolchains/arm/arm_gnu_linux_abi.pdf
arm-linux-gnueabihf: likewise but with hard float
