19 arm-linux profiles already exist. I proved it was easy to do years ago
20 so I'm confused on what you are trying to do. However, do not add any
21 arm-linux keywords to the tree! Also, you are extremely confused about
22 what it means now that gx86 and prefix are "merged" (Hint, nothing
23 changed and nothing is more or less 'merged'). I am also confused
24 about what you mean by "expect arch-linux and arch finally to be
25 merged" -- 'x86-linux' will never become 'x86'
