My personal preference `powerpc', which is used by gcc and friends, but it doesn't really matter which one we use as long as it's consistent in all places. -lq To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ppc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-ppc Tue Jun 20 14:19:29 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org Received: from haldjas.folklore.ee (Haldjas.folklore.ee [193.40.6.121]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3174937BD70 for ; Tue, 20 Jun 2000 14:19:26 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from narvi@haldjas.folklore.ee) Received: from localhost (narvi@localhost) by haldjas.folklore.ee (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id XAA77441; Tue, 20 Jun 2000 23:19:18 +0200 (EET) (envelope-from narvi@haldjas.folklore.ee) Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2000 23:19:18 +0200 (EET) From: Narvi To: Luoqi Chen Cc: freebsd-ppc@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: standized name: ppc or powerpc?

Net/Open also iirc use powerpc, with the different platforms named ppc-something. We already kinda-sorta have 98 under i386 - i guess that if we sometime have need for other ppc "platforms" these would be similar, right? > -lq > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ppc" in the body of the message
