What do we gain by doing this?
Valid question! Config.guess reports these two architectures but at
the moment they are not part of config.sub and therefore not
supported. Well, the point is the missinbg entries in config.sub would
be the only reason why.
Further there is no control to build a special binary for hppa1.1. For
example you are running HP-UX 10.20 on a hppa2.0 (hpp2.0-hp-hpux10)
but you want a build that is portable to all architectures with this
version of HP-UX. Forcing configure to hpp1.1-hp-hpux10 just gains
nothing. So we could add besides logical stuff some value so that we
tell the compiler to produce the right code for the architecture
passed to configure.
