Note that powerpc-linux-gnu is not in fact a triplet; linux-gnu is a
single item.  It should be powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu, or have something
specific in place of the "unknown" for the system type.

Similarly, powerpc-mcoe should be powerpc-unknown-mcoe or
powerpc-mercury-mcoe (if mcoe only runs on Mercury systems) or somesuch
to be a true triplet.

I don't know if this is important for our purposes or not.  It might be,
if we ever use something that expects to split the triplets into their
component parts, but otherwise probably isn't....  (For one example, I
suspect that autoconf's cross-compiler handling may expect triplets.)
