If we use different names then gcc, it will make things little more complicated, and I do not see why we have to do this. Also for processor names we have references to gcc manual. From /usr/share/mk/bsd.cpu.mk : ############################################################################### # Logic to set up correct gcc optimization flag. This must be included # after /etc/make.conf so it can react to the local value of CPUTYPE # defined therein.
