we were unsure if we should build only the toolchain with that triplet or also 
set the default rpm target to -gnueabi. What exactly should be the toolchain 
triplet? arm-suse-linux-gnueabihf ? armv7-suse-linux-gnueabihf?

The default rpm target we chose to leave at -suse-linux, as there is some 
weird triplet processing code in rpm that only checks for "-gnu" and nothing 
else, so we were quite sure that -gnueabi would already break / change the 
behavior. Thats why we have this inconsistency of building the toolchain with 
-gnueabi, but setting the default triplet to suse-linux (without any 
extension). 


we had quite some issues with the default "build platform" macros in rpm being 
defined wrongly/incompletly by default in rpm, which is why we first tried to 
get something running, and then fix the details later. 

you can see the problematic code here:

I don't mind switching it if we can get rpm fixed to properly handle the 
gnueabihf triplet and also initialize the platform target macros properly. 

Greetings,
Dirk
