Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked rustc pull request and its clarification comment about avr-unknown-gnu-atmega328. Determine how atmega328 should be categorized despite not being recognized by LLVM's Triple or GNU autotools; the work is done when the target's parsing treatment is agreed and documented for implementation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

avr-unknown-gnu-atmega328 is a new target in rustc. "atmega328" isn't recognized by LLVM's Triple or GNU autotools so it's unclear how to categorize it. I posted here asking for clarification.
