Are there any actual Linux distributions supporting this?

Or is this just setting the LP64 flag explicitly, which is already the default anyway on pretty much all Linux distributions? And if so, how is this different from the existent linux-arm64 platform properties?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Debian12 starts official support for LoongArch: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2023/08/msg00000.html. There are LoongArch machines available for verification on GCC Farm: https://cfarm.tetaneutral.net/machines/list/

Doesn't seem to make a difference.

Ooh, I see, this isn't ARM...
