21 I was thinking that perhaps we could also split it into Endianness, for CHOST
22 voodoo, and anything else that's endianness-sensitive.
23
24 So the profiles would become;

60 The above is just an idea. The main reason for splitting 'le' and 'be' is so
61 that the CHOST can be set correctly (mips{,64}-unknown-linux-gnu on be,
62 mips{,64}el-unknown-linux-gnu on le). As for how to handle µClibc, not sure
63 there. I'm guessing it'd be another profile like n32, just to s/gnu/uclibc/
64 in the CHOST -- certainly it will be that way whilst it's o32 only.
65
66 Anyways, those are my thoughts. :-)
