Gentoo actively uses hppa1.1 and hppa2.0 (i'm not sure we have any systems 
that don't use those).  we've seen some projects key off of those tuples (like 
gmp) to change code selection.

similarly, the reason i included -unknown- is that is the tuple we use in 
Gentoo for our native toolchain.  for 64bit ones, we've been using ${ARCH}64-
linux as it was only good for building the kernel ... it didn't include a C 
lib itself.

along that last line, hppa is the only target anymore where we have a 
dedicated 64bit compiler for the kernel.  all the other ports have biarch 
support in gcc/binutils :/.

CC_ARCHES = hppa$(WIDTH) hppa1.1 hppa2.0
CC_SUFFIXES = linux linux-gnu unknown-linux-gnu
CROSS_COMPILE := $(call cc-cross-prefix, \
	$(foreach a,$(CC_ARCHES),$(foreach s,$(CC_SUFFIXES),$(a)-$(s)-)))
