Yes that sounds fine; perhaps we could have %target-type, but > have it be a fluid. Does that make sense? Yes, agreed. At some point there will have to be a triplet =E2=86=92 arch =E2=86=92 endi= anness conversion. I=E2=80=99d rather have that conversion occur as close to the = UI as possible=E2=80=94i.e., close to =E2=80=98scripts/compile.scm=E2=80=99=E2=80= =94rather than deep down in (system base compile) because the triplet string is really a UI notion IMO. Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
