Yes, I agree. It isn't even completely obvious to me that this change
has a great deal of merit. As I wrote in:
http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-devel/2009-September/013577.html
it doesn't seem as if switching TARGET_OS from "linux" to "linux-gnu"
brings any benefits other than trivial cosmetic ones, and it is a shame
to break everybody's builds just for that.
So, personally, I would be tempted to just revert it and leave it
reverted rather than burning a lot of manpower on trying to make
"linux-gnu" work for everybody at once. If individual DISTROs want to
switch to linux-gnu then they are obviously welcome to do so and pick up
the pieces for themselves.
