Ultimately whether it's preferred or not we need to be able to support
it on RH platforms that those that wish to use it so getting this
issue resolved in an upstreamable way which won't constantly break is
worthwhile even if just for sanity. We have a few packages that block
on this due to the problems with the triplet one of which is the hfs
support for Mac filesystems.
