It is a bit confusing. Here are the three different things needed (I
think!):
System: name of machine doing the build
Build type: Type of the "system" machine, e.g.
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
Host type: Type the build is for, when you are cross-compiling, e.g.,
i686-pc-linux-gnu
Are these names ok? Maybe use 'Hostname' instead of 'System'? Or
'Machine'?
As for revision vs version I fully agree. Let's use 'Version'
everywhere.
Based on this, maybe you could rework your patch? I think we want
different columns for build type and host type and system name, although
I'm not sure those are the best terms.
