It is largely meaningless. Historically, it was used to distinguish
different platforms that used the same CPU; m68k-sun vs. m68k-hp300
or such. For operating systems that have the same userland on all
machines with the same CPU architecture, this middle name is
redundant. You can change it by calling GNU configure scripts with
a different configure target name.
FreeBSD is more playful: It has ${ARCH}-portbld-freebsd${OSREL} in
its ports tree and configures gdb with ${TARGET_ARCH}-marcel-freebsd,
because Marcel Moolenaar did the import work.
