Well, the "standard" solution to this (e.g. on non-bash/non-gcc systems) is to use the output of the GNU "config.guess" script. AFAIK that's what both bash and gcc do to generate that string. However, they may use different versions of the script, so they may end up with different values, and if we compare the host's bash or gcc to the /tools one, they may also be different (for instance, Mandrake systems used to do this; I don't know whether they still do).
