i don't think that's what the proposed change does.  James' patch runs $(CC) 
to find the active tuple, then replaces the first part with "hppa64" to get a 
64bit toolchain automatically.  but that magic only works when the tuple is 
"hppa-xxx" and so will fail when the system is using "hppa2.0-xxx".

short story: the proposed change will additionally support turning "hppa2.0-
linux-gnu" into "hppa64-linux-gnu" rather than the existing "only turns hppa-
linux-gnu" into "hppa64-linux-gnu".
