These three should be identical.

> i386-*-freebsd*
> i386-*-linux*
> i386-*-msdosdjgpp*
> i386-*-netbsdelf*
> i386-*-netbsd*
> i386-*-netware*
Can this go?  I think it is the old old Novell thing.

> i386-*-openbsd*
> i386-*-pe*
ChrisF would like the PE deleted!  It's been bug reported.

> i386-*-solaris*		Canonicalized to i386-pc-solaris2
> i386-*-sysv4*
> i386-*-vxworks*

What is this machine?

> i386-*-lynxos*
I think this can go (or at least an attempt made).

> i386-*-sco3.2v5*	Several issues
> i386-*-sco*		Issue with START_INFERIOR_TRAPS_EXPECTED
> i386-*-sysv4.2*		UNIXWARE define, ptid issues

Obsoleting os9kread is on the to do list as well.

> i386-*-osf1mk*
> i386-*-sco3.2v4*	Broken

Have fun!
