:I think "pc" is confusing enough as well. I vote for "x86".

    I changed it to pc32, to differentiate between 32 and 64 bit
    architectures (e.g. pc32, pc64).  x86 isn't really descriptive
    enough.  ia32/ia64 is also a possible name but I want to avoid
    using things that imply 'intel' or 'amd' since there are other
    cpu vendors out there too.
