There is no way for the user to tell the cause of the bizarre errors he
will get. There is no connection between various "foo not declared"
messages and "oh, I forgot to add .7 to the target triplet." The
compiler
certainly can't help.
Ah, I get it, the impetus for removing support was to easily get a
better error message out, faster without doing the work to notice it
after the fact and trying to do it then...
Never mind. Though, I might have a slight preference for the later,
certainly I won't object to doing it earlier... Sorry.
