The vendor part refers to hardware vendor, not software, so unless
BSD becomes a hardware vendor, I find the possibility of
"x86-bsd-linux" impossible (going by the existance of
CPU_TYPE-MANUFACTURER-KERNEL-OPERATING_SYSTEM (according to
config.sub), x86-pc-linux-bsd would be possible (ignoring that "x86"
is not allowed yet)).

There is this in config.sub:
# We use `pc' rather than `unknown'
# because (1) that's what they normally are, and
# (2) the word "unknown" tends to confuse beginning users.
