(I thought we'd agreed on this - there were a few remaining cases, I
thought.)
(and I thought that "em64t" was intel shorthand for what AMD calls
"amd64" which is "x86_64")

Hello
Today while investigating the bug in HARMONY-2975 it appeared that
eclipse doesn't start on 64-bit Linux because os.arch property
value is em64t. The property is set in DRLVM source. Eclipse
doesn't recognize this architecture and failed to load SWT library.
When this property value is changed to x86_64 Eclipse runs ok.
I think we should agree how to call 64-bit platform and I think it
is better to follow the same convention as is used in Linux, that
is call it x86_64 [1].
It may happen that for better compatibility or reuse of VM and
classlib code in other projects we'll need to change some other
em64t and amd64 mentions in the sources to x86_64. If there is no
strong objection I would like to change all sources to use only
x86_64 instead of brand names, and rename the files which contain
em64t in their names. What do you think?
