This.  There would be no way to have a native gcc that compiles correct
code without any flags, which could potentially break a lot of things.

Also, using or1knd is consistent with the practice used by other
architectures with incompatible variants, e.g. armhf for the ARM variant
used in the Raspberry Pi.

And I know there's no core available to run or1knd code yet, but I've got
one coming.  A few things left to finish and I'll be releasing something :)
