Hello Maxime,

> Proposal: rename the variable to x86-32-linux.  Likewise for the hurd.

It makes sense to me. However, we would also have to rename accordingly
the "system" counterpart in (gnu packages bootstrap). Something to keep
in mind.

Fixed.

Fixed.

>>> +@defvr {Scheme Variable} hurd
>>> +Platform targeting x86 CPUs running GNU/Hurd.
>> Why is not called ‘i586-gnu’?

> How about x86-32-gnu, for the same reasons as i686-linux?

Also looks fine but has to be done at a larger scale like for the
x86-32-linux renaming.

Thanks for reviewing,

Mathieu
