Many questions gives hints about the --host, --build and --target options of configure. While i understand what is the purpose of these options, i would like to know how to find the triplet to provide to these options.
I have found across the web may examples of values, like arm-none-linux-gnueabi, mac, x86, and arm.
Is there a command-line utility that is able to return this value, knowing the machine on which it is runned ? Or even an unofficial-but-generally-working algorithm that allow one to build the triplet, knowing basic informations about involved machines ? Or maybe a list of all known triplets i can try until one produce a binary that can run on the host machine ?
