The triple could be omitted, absolutely.

If you have the following:

-fopenmp-targets=openmp-powerpc64le-ibm-linux-gnu 
``-Xopenmp-target:openmp-powerpc64le-ibm-linux-gnu -march=pwr7`` 
``-Xopenmp-target:openmp-powerpc64le-ibm-linux-gnu -march=pwr8``

This would end up having a toolchain called for each one of the -Xopenmp-target 
sets of flags even though a single triple was specified under the 
-fopenmp-targets. Would this be ok?
