I notice that if I rpmbuild for --target=sparc64, I often, maybe as a
rule, get --build --host as sparc-linux, but --target as
sparc64-linux.... is this the actual way "we" want it? I would have
guessed that we would have wanted the same triplet for all, ie.,
sparc64-linux (or whatever equivalent but longer... such as
sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu or sparc64-redhat-linux-gnu)

I suspect that having --target=sparc64 with --build and --host as
sparc can confuse a few packages.... especially "low-level/close to
kernel" ones... if you understand what I mean...
