Why not fix this? For example, it could also give back configure
options (--with-float=hard) that should be implicitly assumed to have
been provided.
It really does seem like a hack to use triplets in this way; I think
Paul's point that anything that depends on the toolchain triplet to
determine ABI is inherently busted is pretty persuasive.
