Due to the short lifetime of IRC I'll add some more comments:

For a manual build on NetBSD (.99 being the CURRENT), the tripplet:

x86_64-unknown-netbsd8.99
 
is correct. For a build in pkgsrc (which is not exclusive for
NetBSD but I haven't looked at Linux behavior so far) it becomes

x86_64--netbsd8.99

because of code specified in

http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/mk/configure/gnu-configure.mk?rev=1.17&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

This happens to make the builds and filenames more predicatable.
So your initial assumption about NetBSD tripplets was right,
but similar to guix, pkgsrc needs a different treatment here.

Note that this is the last dependency I need to package before
can start packaging guix for pkgsrc, so it would be nice to get a patch
upstream instead of hacking around it.

I hope this is enough context to get a reply.
