[cfe-dev] [LLVMdev] [PATCH] triples for baremetal

[Eric Christopher]

Hi Jonathan,

This looks a bit odd. Any reason for the unknown->none conflating in
this way? For most (all) of the ports unknown-elf works the same as
none-elf. I'm also not sure if someone decided to have,
arm-codesourcery-elf that this would still work with the patch.

Thoughts?
