Hi

As you mentioned the Raspberry Pi: BOINC is available in the repo of Raspian, a 
Debian wheezy  fork, and it uses the platform string 
'arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf'.

It does make sense IMHO to differentiate in the platform string between hard 
float (as with Raspbian) and soft float ABI platforms for the ARM CPU (e.g. the 
native Debian wheezy for ARMv6 CPUs), because they are not binary compatible. 
The project has to know what kind of executable it can send to the client, and 
the natural way to do so is via the platform string. 

Cheers 
HB
