In general I think we should trust tuples *less* - it should be possible 
to configure glibc with the same tuple as used for GCC (so, for example, 
i686-*-linux-gnu and x86_64-*-linux-gnu should both work for building both 
32-bit and 64-bit glibc - much like for MIPS we examine the value of 
_MIPS_SIM to determine the ABI being built for).  (I also think all cases 
that can use the same tuple with GCC should install the same headers.)
