In all my attempts to bootstrap  (3.0/3.0.1 unsuccesfull 3.0.2/3.0.3 
succcesfull) I used the exact same configuration. The one I mentioned in 
my succesfull build on 3.0.3. However reading back my reports,I realise  
I didn't gave enough information in the first reports. Sort of saying 
the same thing in different ways,not so smart :( So now I'm trying 
to get it right the first time. :)

1)All the bootstraps are on the same machine. The util versions are 
the same,only glibc got a minor security update.

1)All my bootstraps were done with --host=k6-redhat-linux-gnu and 
--target=k6-redhat-linux-gnu 

2)config.guess gave me in all cases i586-pc-linux-gnu.

3)All my automatic testreports on gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults get
tagged with i586-redhat-linux-gnu by test_summary in the contrib dir.


So what should be the naming?
I'm not sure,because I only know a bit about configuring/installing gcc 
and nothing about the inner workings. 

BUT : When I do a gcc -dumpspecs I see a line 
 "  *cpp_cpu_default
    -D__tune_k6__
 "

So I think the gcc I build is defaulting to bulding code optimised to run 
for a k6. IMHO this means the name for the entry should be 
k6-redhat-linux-gnu.

However,I would rather have some comments from people in the know.
Wasn't Honza some time ago working on specific k6 code? I think he was the 
one who got k6 bootstrapping again from 3.0.2 on. (Thanx for that Honza!!)

Anyway,my best guess is k6-redhat-linux-gnu.
