Our config tools return "x86_64" as an arch.  Like this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ gcc/trunk/config.guess 
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

But try it with gcc, and 

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ gcc -S add-entropy.c -march=x86_64
add-entropy.c:1: error: bad value (x86_64) for -march= switch
add-entropy.c:1: error: bad value (x86_64) for -mtune= switch

However, if you read the gcc source you'll discover it's not "x86_64"
but "x86-64":

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ gcc -S add-entropy.c -march=x86-64
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ 

So, which is it supposed to be?  In general we use "x86_64"
everywhere, but gcc seems to have decided to use "x86-64".  Perhaps we
should accept "x86_64" as well?
