The next release would be 1.6.10, currently in progress. This might be a
bit late for that, since I'm not sure exactly what we should do. The
patches I gave you would not go in the release as-is, since presumably
they would break other arm systems.

It seems like maybe aarch64 should be its own sysname, though, from what
I've seen here? Since it doesn't define __arm__ when compiling,
apparently, and it has its own gnu toolchain triplet component. Do you
(or others) agree? Should it be arm64_linux26, aarch64_linux26,
armv8a_linux26, or something else?
