So what exactly do you expect none.lib and none.o look like? For the former,
this is more or less clear, however, many things will not work because machine
dependent things will be missing. But how should the latter look to be usable?
And what about the linker config? It assumes that the whole address space can
be used by the compiled program; an assumption that is invalid for most real
machines. 

What I fear is that once a real "none" target exists, people start complaining
that it is totally useless for real hardware. And IMHO they are right about it.
