Yup, of course, I'm wrong.  Sorry.  ``... we were asked to derive
macros, which might be expressed in tm_file fragment or tm_defines,
from target triple not from a non-standard system header'' would have
been accurate; but pointless to observe in regards to Jason's
patch. ;-)  At the time, tm_defines did not exist in its current form
and we ended up being forced to use tm_file fragments.

Given those improvements, tm_defines could now be used by our port.
If it didn't impact outside uses, I'd propose a patch.

Yup.
