I strongly encourage this solution.
Anything that relies on the target triplet is going to break as soon as you
move outside a pure Debian system. i.e. any patches relying on a particular
target triplet are inherently Debian specific, and IMO should never be pushed
upstream.
The only way to reliably determine the current ABI is to ask the compiler,
probably checking for a preprocessor macro that doesn't exist yet :-/
