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.
