Yes, agreed.

At some point there will have to be a triplet → arch → endianness
conversion.  I’d rather have that conversion occur as close to the UI as
possible—i.e., close to ‘scripts/compile.scm’—rather than deep down in
(system base compile) because the triplet string is really a UI notion IMO.
