If toolchain is interesting to know in ipk's it should be part of the name. And note that I am really in favour of an architecture specific solution, not a machine one. That is why I used an include file to contain the pinnings. And actually the situation with nios2 is much much worse. As it is a soft-core people can come up with all kind of variants. (e.g. with/without fp). Actually nios2 adds pragma's to gcc to select which instructions are there and which not. Not sure whether the latter is a good idea as it is one of the things that fail moving to a newer gcc. The good news is that most of the variants used have different peripherals, but seem to stick to just a few cpu cores. (nios2 is used as a generic name for the SoC as well as the core, doesn't help to separate things either).
