That means the gas configure script hasn't been taught the target name yet.
Usually just a matter of editing a switch statement.

I am sending an email to a GCC arm maintainer for advice on the best path
forward. Should be a matter of the right tweaks.

any such compiler support available yet. So the first step has to look at
adding that support:
