Ideally these things would all be discovered at build-time correctly, but so fart as I know these values are still used by configure for at least some packages. Providing them remains useful for the time being. > I'm also not sure about hurd-i386, > kfreebsd-i386 and kfreebsd-amd64 as I never cross-built for these > targets.

The idea was that porters would provide info for their architectures, and thus get the details right. We could probably find out the answers for various arches with some effort. If you provide files I am happy to include them. I guess I could check by logging on to porter boxes and collecting suitable details.
