The list would be empty, since we do not provide support as it is
traditionally understood for any platform.  We should be careful to avoid
this word.

If you want to replace it by a list of *tested* target triples, that's
fine.  Or we could list the primary and secondary platforms.

Whoops, you list this separately, so it seems you do believe that there is
something that we support.

How can we generate this list?  config.guess will generate an arbitrarily
large list of target triples, including identifiers for OS revisions that
didn't exist at the time the compiler shipped.
