Processor Architectures (Table 4-2 in 4.2.2.1) Should 'x86' really be called 'ia32'? (I don't really care.)
'x86' is no doubt the more common term - to be honest, only a small faint bell is ringing for ia32, and I am really not sure if this term really exists. All tools, programs and descriptions I know (i.e. the GNU tools collection) do all use x86 and ia64 to separate 32 bit and 64 bit architectures.
Should we also add the (ever so popular) x86_64 to the ProcessorArchitectureEnumeration? ia64 really only describes Itanium. -- Chris
