It matters not as the host alias you pass to --host, but definitely for
macros like those from Libtool which decide things based on $host. In
the other thread, powerpc-bgp-linux seemed like a sensible thing. But
This doesn't make sense to me, because the compute nodes (as far as I
understand from IBM's papers online) are not running any version of a
Linux kernel. See
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~beckman/bluegene/SSW-Utah-2005/BGL-SSW03-CNK-CIOD.pdf
Also, the vendor clearly should be "ibm", not "bgp" (and what about
BlueGene/L, which runs essentially the same operating system?)
That's why I suggested something like powerpc64-ibm-bluegene, or
possibly powerpc64-ibm-bluegene-{version} if a version can be detected
and is useful.
