I am carrying on one private conversation currently making sure I have not misunderstood an issue (i.e. making sure something is not an issue), and then I plan to commit it as "useful infrastructure", and probably note that it should be considered orhtogonal to making keywords like "machine" not lie (i.e. someone could change "machine" to "machine_arch" or "arch", and things would be cool), and that it does nothing but provide an interesting configuration/build abstraction, should someone choose to use it. And mention that MIPS "will" (i.e. does) and PowerPC will (will). The only extra "progress" I've made so far is a wholly-useful %PLATFORM for Makefiles, useful for e.g. including per-platform makefile glue, in the architecture build glue.
