You don't need to know what targets were supported in the version that you compiled from. Only one target is supported in this executable anyway.

Why would you care about which architectures the executable supports? What you actually want to know is which machine models are supported; whether board foo happens to be ARM or PPC isn't really very interesting IMHO.
That's a very good point. It was the libvirt folks that requested this. Perhaps they can shed some light on the logic?
There is processor-dependent logic in libvirt, for example the CPUID bits. Paolo
