For example configure accepts --target=bfin-rtems4.10 without any

I think that's a known situation
I guessed as much - binutils and gcc are more restrictive, ... and unless I am in error, gdb once also was :(

- we don't check the correctness of
the target triplet - often the configure just assumes one of the
bareboard variants but that's highly speculative at best. when you're lucky,
you'll see an error message during the GDB configure, but otherwise,
yeah, GDB will fail at build time.

Note: It did not fail at build-time - Building went absolutely smoothless -- gdb crashed at run-time!
