this is proving to be the way forwards, by customising the 
error messages I have located where the error message is from,
(its the default case of the switch where it says:
"# Support site-specific machine types")

looks like I have to take 68k-x-68k and Linux-x-aros,

break these up into 4 pieces: 68k-x  x-68k Linux-x x-aros

and then combine 68k-x and x-aros to get 68k-x-aros,

thats the idea at least, its going to take some work to 
do this,
