config.gcc has special handling of triplets matching "*local*". I don't think this is particularly relevant to how GCC is used and built today; a good GCC port is expected to include many pieces in different places that are not covered by this generic code, and adding a config.gcc stanza is one of the easiest parts of adding a port. Thus, this patch removes that code.
Bootstrapped with no regressions on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
