+    prompt "Suffix to the arch-part"
+    help
+      Some architectures have multiple variants and being able to specify
+      the variant instead of the arch is quite convenient. This is commonly
+      seen for instance when "armv5tel-" is used as a prefix instead of the
+      more generic "arm-", or with "alphaev6-" instead of "alpha-".
+      
+      Whatever you enter here will be appended to the architecture-part of the
+      tuple, just before the first '-'. It will override any architecture-
+      specific suffix that crosstool-NG may compute.
+      
+      If you are not sure about what this is, leave it blank.
