I don't think this is strictly necessary, it would add confusion to our
users, which would ask over and over again about this "gnu" thing (is not
linux "gnu" also?). BTW: On the ftp archive we have "hurd-i386", not
i386-hurd.
On the contrary, we may consider the architecture-specification string
"i386-gnu" as an historical accident, and we as developers, can live
with it.
