All very good, and I don't think I've got any more to add...
So I guess that leaves the subarches like so:
x86: i486, x86_64
arm: arm(eb), armel
mips: mips(32), mipsel(32)
microblaze: microblaze
(What's the status of microblazeel/microblazele? configure looks not to recognize it...)
ppc: powerpc(32)
Total arches:
6
Total subarches (distinct ABIs):
8-10 (depending on status of microblazeel and ABI compatability of armhf with armel)
-planned subarches: mipsel32-sf, mips32-sf
-planned arches: x32
-distant: mips64, mipsel64, ppc64 (I *think* Rich Pennington got these working, but they haven't been merged)
-unsupported subarches: i386
It seems Debian's using aarch64-* for ARMv8.
