quadruplets, quintuplets and even sextuplets wouldn't be a problem if
all the preceding parts were compulsory. The problem is that the vendor
field is optional, so now arm-linux-gnueabi is ambiguous. Is that a
quadruplet that's missed out the vendor part, or a triplet?
Right, hence arm-none-linux-gnueabi. I forgot about that, but I'm only
really talking about the OS part here anyway.
