7 The triple ABI stuff doesn't really affect things. o32 userland on a 64bit box
8 is the only case where you have to worry about split compilers. In a
9 theoretical n32 or n64 userland, your system compiler (and therefore CHOST) is
10 already 64bit, so it's one compiler for both kernel and userland.
