Can we consider adding a symlink from non-vendor triples to vendored triples?
For example:
     /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu -> /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

LLVM guys complains about it:

I don't think this is a good idea.  The triplets are organized to follow the
multiarch triplets where possible (the one exception is i386). So unless you
want to change the multiarch triplets, this is a no-go.

it would be much better to directly fetch the installation information from GCC,
i.e.

   gcc -print-search-dirs
   gcc -print-multiarch
