The script could certainly call config.guess first, and then apply
some sed construct to it to edit out the parts that it doesn't need:

yeah-baby:thorpej 4$ ./config.guess
i386-unknown-netbsdelf1.5ZA
yeah-baby:thorpej 5$

Why is that really messed up?  m68k--netbsdelf will certainly match
*-*-netbsd* in a configure script, so there's no problem.

No, a.out builds do not use any of the new toolchain files.
