Yes, I also cannot remember those triplets even though I'm
cross-compiling all day long.

Maybe we could:

* Define all the supported architectures in (gnu platforms). We already
  have ARM and Hurd defined there.

* Define %supported-systems and %supported-targets lists constructed by
  parsing the <platform> records.

* Use those lists to check the values passed to --system and --target
  arguments.

* Add --list-available-systems and --list-available-targets arguments
  for all the commands supporting --system and --target arguments.

WDYT?

In the meantime we can close that one I guess.

Thanks,

Mathieu
