This may be the most canonical description of target triples (autoconf
config names): https://sourceware.org/autobook/autobook/autobook_17.html
Triples are just a short way of identifying a compilation target, and
their naming is mostly out of our hands, established by historical
precedent. The individual components of the triple mean very little -
it's generally the entire string used to identify a platform. "unknown"
is a common vendor name where there's no obvious vendor, shows up a lot
in linux triples, though `x86_64-pc-linux-gnu` is also common; "-gnu"
probably means the target has a GNU userspace.

Hello Rusties:
I'm using Debian 7.4 Linux, not "unknown linux" obviously.
And I don't know the meaning of `-gnu`.
On Windows, that it `x86-pc-mingw32`, which is quite meaningful to
understand.
Thank you.
