Not really. The target triplet is an extremely poor source of information. A
given target can be supported by many different triplets, and a single triplet
can support many different targets. It all epends how the toolchain was
configured.
Target triplets are only really useful when confined to specific systems from
a particular vendor, and even then only when that vendor (e.g. Debian) chooses
to use an arbitrary triplet for evert target they support. In that case the
mappings are vendor specific and you should already know what the answer is.
As a counter-example, the toolchains I build for my day job support a wide
range of different, incompatible systems from a single binary (i.e. target
triplet).
My answer to your question remains the same: Use preprocessor macros.
