dnl From Bruno Haible and Sam Steingold.
dnl Sets the HOST_CPU_C_ABI variable to the canonical name of the CPU with its
dnl C language ABI (application binary interface).
dnl Also defines __${HOST_CPU_C_ABI}__ as a C macro in config.h.
dnl
dnl This canonical name can be used to select a particular assembly language
dnl source file that will interoperate with C code on the given host.
dnl
dnl For example:
dnl * 'i386' and 'sparc' are different canonical names, because code for i386
dnl will not run on SPARC CPUs and vice versa. They have different
dnl instruction sets.
dnl * 'sparc' and 'sparc64' are different canonical names, because code for
dnl 'sparc' and code for 'sparc64' cannot be linked together: 'sparc' code
dnl contains 32-bit instructions, whereas 'sparc64' code contains 64-bit
dnl instructions. A process on a SPARC CPU can be in 32-bit mode or in 64-bit
dnl mode, but not both.
dnl * 'mips' and 'mipsn32' are different canonical names, because they use
dnl different argument passing and return conventions for C functions, and
dnl although the instruction set of 'mips' is a large subset of the
dnl instruction set of 'mipsn32'.
dnl * 'mipsn32' and 'mips64' are different canonical names, because they use
dnl different sizes for the C types like 'int' and 'void *', and although
dnl the instruction sets of 'mipsn32' and 'mips64' are the same.
dnl * 'arm' and 'armel' are different canonical names, because they use
dnl different memory ordering for the C types like 'int', and although
dnl the instruction sets of 'arm' and 'armel' are the same.
dnl * The same name 'i386' is used for CPUs of type i386, i486, i586
dnl (Pentium), AMD K7, Pentium II, Pentium IV, etc., because
dnl - Instructions that do not exist on all of these CPUs (cmpxchg,
dnl MMX, SSE, SSE2, 3DNow! etc.) are not frequently used. If your
dnl assembly language source files use such instructions, you will
dnl need to make the distinction.
dnl - Speed of execution of the common instruction set is reasonable across
dnl the entire family of CPUs. If you have assembly language source files
dnl that are optimized for particular CPU types (like GNU gmp has), you
dnl will need to make the distinction.
dnl See <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_instruction_listings>.
