I would suggest using a name along one used for building gnu packages,
something like :

  i686-linux

  or sparc64-sunos-5.8

In other terms : hardware_platform-OS[-OS_version]

[ In fact, GNU packages and more specifically configure script are using
  linux-gnu-i686, i.e. OS-vendor-hardware. I think the vendor part is
  not necessary. ]
