Hi Király,

It is possible that some of these target triples should be added to the
top level configure.ac file, in the code where it is constructing the
noconfigdirs variable.
> Maybe they are indeed bad triplets,
Bad is a strong word. There are indeed ports where it is known that some
of the tools are not supported. For example ports targeted at the darwin
execution environment do not support either an assembler or a linker.

Yeah - it probably could be more strict, but I do not think that it is
really necessary. The builder is told that the configuration is not
supported for the generation of a particular tool after all, even if it
is a little bit late in the configure/build process.
Cheers
Nick
