Yes, there is a curious ‘inversion’ process where, to the OS, the architectures are sub-targets, but to the GCC implementation the OSs are sub-targets of the arch, it can be possible to work around this by declaring SUBTARGET_SPEC_XXXX and then appending that to the various users.  However, it could be that even that will not work easily in this case.
