linux-gnu (GNU/Linux) is one component of the triple (x86_64, unknown, linux-gnu). The fact that the hyphen is overloaded to separate both components of the triple and words within those components is unfortunate, but it's probably too difficult to change at this point.

I’ve compiled dozens, maybe hundreds, of cross compilers setting the targets manually and I never knew it was called a triple or the actual format underlying it. TIL
