No, but they're the "OEM" of the user-space component of all existing Linux
distributions. One can envision a Linux kernel with a BSD libc, which would
carry a canonical triple of "x86-bsd-linux". Or even Sun pulling some
strangeness for low-end systems, with a Solaris-derived libc
("x86-sun-linux").
Yeah, "pc" is pretty lousy --- but it's also what's already in use. Then
again, as a behavior selector it's pretty much useless. The hypothetical
systems above would also qualify for it....
