Following the links does give more context. The "bad" triplet is
actually coming from gcc and Hongxu's original patch did change gcc to
"fix" it. Unfortunately it does so at the risk of other problems to
gcc.

The gcc-cross recipes aren't working entirely correctly at the moment
and its just good luck (and sstate) which are meaning things do
actually work out.

The trouble is that changing gcc right now to fix this properly isn't
something we can easily do. So this patch might be the right short term
workaround.

Cheers,
