Ah, I see: ARMv7L is now an alias for ARMv7A.

So, if William has to add support for ARMv6L, I'd suggest he adds it as an alias, and not as an architecture variant.


>>> However, because the DefaultTargetTriple is armv6l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf

Where is this "armv6l" coming from? Is it a legacy GNU thing? Or is it a newly-coined name?
