Equally, there are several precedents for encoding ABI into TARGET_OS, arm-gnueabi springs to mind... It really comes down to the formats that the various magic files accept and whilst its the regexps are lax on arm, they are less lax on x86 and I suspect the TARGET_OS path is the one of less resistance in this case. Even so, it shouldn't be necessary to change the default TARGET_OS.
