   Why does that Makefile set TARGET_NAME in the manner:
   
   CPPFLAGS+=      -I. -I${GCCARCH} ${G_ALL_CFLAGS:M-D*} 
   ${G_INCLUDES:M-I*:N-I.*} \
                    -DTARGET_NAME=\"${MACHINE_GNU_ARCH}-netbsd\"
   
   instead of using ${MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM} in TARGET_NAME?
   Currently TARGET_NAME doesn't have -netbsdelf for those formerly
   a.out platforms.  And shouldn't TARGET_NAME have "--" instead of "-"?
   It does in the Makefiles produced by configure...


it should be -netbsdelf for those platforms, and PLEASE don't make it
say --.  there is absolutely no reason.
