Hi Eric,

Is this causing any trouble?

IIUC, this change will only have an effect when no environment is
chosen, which shouldn't happen that often, and shouldn't happen at all
on Darwin or BSD. The code as it currently is has even an extra
condition for NetBSD reverting to "apcs-gnu".

Since these things are largely arbitrary, creating a code that makes
sense and is simple is hard. But regarding the decision to move the
default to aapcs, I have to say I also agree.

cheers,
