Or why one would not write ARMv8-linux, where ARMv8 is the correct wording of the architecture. Or using `uname -p`-`uname -s` would produce x86_64-Linux The problem happens when I use `uname -p`-`uname -s` as --build= argument of a configure script while cross-compiling. config.sub should be a bit more liberal on its input.
