Hi Nathan,

Is this really of any benefit ? Is there some intention to have uppercase variants of the name mean something different ?
No, there's no intention for upper case to mean something different. The thing is, uppercase does not work -- the new multilib machinery expects the architectures to be lower case. The existing port also only worked with exclusively upper case or lower case rather than the mixed case which strcasecmp will accept. Being stricter is an attempt to head off confusing errors.

In which case the patch is approved, please apply it.

Cheers
  Nick
