I think using the "company" part of the target triplet to mean anything 
should be avoided; it's just an arbitrary identifier that users may set to 
distinguish multiple compilers for similar targets.  We may not be able to 
get rid of existing cases that treat it as significant, but can avoid 
adding new ones.  -linux-android (note the "-", not "-linuxandroid") 
matches the standard GNU practice where the last part is -KERNEL-OS (thus, 
-linux-gnu for Linux kernel, GNU OS, -linux-android for Linux kernel, 
Android OS).
