As the relevant upstream maintainer I'll confirm this objection. In the past
gcc used to try and guess which config to use based on variants of the
triplet. In practice this caused more problems than it solved, especially when
you have a single toolchain that can target multiple variants.
If you want different triplets then I suggest you use the vendor field. e.g
arm-debian_armel-linux-gnueabi and arm-debian_armhf-linux-gnueabi.
