Debian and Ubuntu are calling the arch 'arm64'. The upstream GNU triplet remains 'aarch64-linux-gnu'.

If you really care there is a doc somewhere carefully distinguishing the names of the architecture, 64-bit instruction set, 32-bit instruction set, etc. But I reckon most people without marketing droids standing behind them will just call it arm64 (or armv8).

I've been having fun with bootstrapping: http://wiki.debian.org/Arm64Port

You can install a quantal amd64 chroot with cross toolchain and start building stuff.

Linaro have OE image builds that can be run on ARM's free-beer 'Fast' Model (which is not at all fast) http://www.linaro.org/engineering/armv8
