Is it? I thought it was x86_64-pc-linux-gnux32 ? The *arch* is x86_64
but the *environment* is gnux32.

So perhaps it should be x86_16-pc-linux-gnu32... but since
x86_16-pc-linux-gnu doesn't exist in the first place, and never *will*
do, that distinction doesn't seem necessary.

Besides, we can actually support an x86_16 variant for *any* existing
i386-VENDOR-OS(-ENV) triple currently in existence. It really is the
arch which is different, surely?
