Thanks all for replies.

Chris' reply assumes that the prefix string must be a target triple and thus should be parsed by tools.  It might be easier to do a halfway step: provide a PROGRAM_PREFIX option, but not require that the prefix string correspond to a target triple descriptor string.  This sounds like it would also satisfy Krzysztof's use case (as "hexagon-" is not a target triple specifier anyway) and it would satisfy mine too.

I am curious, would the project be interested in such a half-way patch?
