The arm-epoc-pe target was for the SymbianOS.  The epoc qualifier was added
to distinguish it from the WinCE targeted PE format version.  Ideally arm-pe
should have been dropped, but it never was.

By now the answer is probably yes.  At the time the arm-epoc-pe target 
was introduced, the answer was no.

Yes, this would be a very good idea.
