Yes, I know.

I just think we need to add some extra logic, because having 4
or more identical files in scripts/data/ is bad.

ATM we use

check-data := $(firstword $(wildcard \
                $(patsubst %,../scripts/data/localplt-%.data,\
                           $(addsuffix -$(config-os),\
                                       $(config-machine) $(base-machine))\
                           generic)))

and IMHO we should add something in between config-machine
and base-machine.  For sparcv9* etc. that's not a problem,
because it matches sparc - base-machine, but for sparc64v etc.
we'd like to use sparc64 if sparc64v is missing.  Roland, any ideas?
We could perhaps add some extra config.make substitution (don't know
what would be the best name for it though) and set it in configure,
or substitute second path component of $machine from configure.
