This, however, leaves us with an awkward name. Pc32 for x86_64? The
pc32 name always seemed wrong. How about calling it "ibm-pc"? After
all, that's the basic architecture, since almost 20 years. Actually,
the more I think about it, the more it makes sense it me.

+1, This does make more sense then pc32, after all it has been all about
being compatible to IBM, in the early years that is, indeed now 25 years
ago :-).
