Is there a compelling reason to allow the configuration of the vendor
part of the tuple? To me, it makes sense that all Buildroot toolchain
have the "buildroot" vendor, so that they can be identified easily.

Also, if by mistake the vendor part of the tuple is defined by the user
as "unknown", they he might get compilation issues when building with
target architecture == host architecture.

See 11017f081fc5b034e680d89eaea729c19f450e01 ('pkg-infra: make sure
cross compiling is enabled when host == target').
