This means that we need to choose a name for it. Obviously, it's better

there is some bikeshedding to do here, but it's better it gets done
before anybody gets stuck with something else. There are, of course,
some real practical reasons why one name might be better than another.

So, it seems this issue is not as simple as I thought. :(

Opinion seem to be somewhat divided, but in the absence of any sort of consensus, I suppose I'll have to propose that the various projects use the vendor field.

The alternative would be to add a configure test that checked the defaults in the existing host compiler, and duplicated the defaults somehow, but that sounds somewhat icky.
