The variables CPU and CPUNAME contain exact the same information and the existence of both leads can just lead to needless errors. CPU is limited to one character leading to obnoxious names like "R" for arm or "6" for Motorola 68000, thus is it the obvious candidate to go an be replaced by CPUNAME.
Skills: code reading, some building
This is my first try, though i had to skip the SPARC64 bits, being CPU=U not defined in configure.in
