Since there seems to be arguments against using both "IA-32" and "i386" for
the 32-bit x86 architecture, how about, uh, "32-bit x86"? With the other
names in parentheses where appropriate? I think we could also ignore the
16-bit x86 variants for the purposes of GCC and just use "x86" instead of
"i386 and x86-64".
Please don't invent a new name. It may confuse people.

Ping? Any thoughts?
x86 for the family and x86-32/x86-64 for the 2 architectures?
Works for me.
Ummm, this seems like an inconsistent position. "32-bit x86" isn't even
a new name; it's a restricting adjective "32-bit" on the existing name
"x86". But "x86-32" isn't an existing real name for anything, as far as
I can tell.
