Why not changeing the names ?

CONFIG_SITE: CROSS_COMPILER_TARGET_ARCHS=mv162 mv167
                                         ~~~~~~~~~~~

CONFIG_SITE: CROSS_COMPILER_TARGET_ARCHS=mv16x-lc mv16x

The confuesing is comeing of the target name, while 
the target is mv167 - meaning a MC680X0 processor with FP
and the target mv162 - meaninig is a MC680X0 terget without FP.
but thera are a lot of mv162 boards with FP.


My suggestion changeing the target names, such as:

mv167 -> mv16x
mv162 -> mv16x-lc

so this is not a bad ide, this is the only way yet (without modification
a lot in config files :) )

I don't suggest this, while maybe you have mv162 boards with and without FP
in the same time :)
