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
