It might be worth proving this (e.g. by running a bulk build with
your proposed infrastructure change). We simply don't know what
thousands of packages out there might be doing, or the assumptions
they might be making.

A less intrusive change (that I would be happier committing without
testing the entire of pkgsrc with) would be a way to override the
target triple on a per-package basis.
