Intellectual challenge: Come up with a plausible meaning, any plausible meaning, for the target triple "none-none-none".

Maybe impossible.

@mcc I've encountered old archives that used ar(1) to store data, instead of tar/zip/etc. AFAIK, in that case, none-none-none would suffice just fine. (Probably not a great answer, just the first one that came to mind when thinking "when have I used a binutils tool where it 100% did not matter which toolchain it's from?"
@unsynchronized @mcc Fun fact: every .deb package is actually an ar(1) archive, containing two tar(1) archives in it.
