Remove support for FreeBSD 5 and earlier.
Can we update to a non-marketing name then, like i586-unknown-freebsd please?

Sooo, I finally got to submitting the patch below to the config.guess
maintainers.

into GCC even at this stage of the release process? (We're only looking
at this change and the addition of nsx-tandem compared to what we have
right now.)
