It returns <ARCH>-<*>-linux-gnu, but that is easy enough to fix.

We really need a seperate tuple in order to coexist with glibc.

For what it is worth, I just about have binutils-2.14.90.0.6 and
gcc-3.3.2 building "normally" for *-linux-uclibc.  I'm hoping to
have that finished by the end of he week.  I still need to work
around some stdlibc++/locale issues.
