This option allows to customize the "vendor" part of the
toolchain tuple, where the toolchain tuple has the form
<arch>-<vendor>-<os>-<libc>. Use this option in situations
where gcc might make different decisions based on the vendor
part of the tuple.

Your mailer (or editor?) is mangling the patch: the above are leading
tabs in the current source tree, so your patch won't apply, since it has
leading spaces instead.

This should be a leading tab in front of 'string', 'default' and 'help'

This should be a leading tab and two spaces in front of the help text.
