It should be just the list of valid MACHINE_ARCH (make targets can give you
a variation of this list). If you compute the cross product of that list
and the supported branches {12,13,14;15} you will know what you can try.
However, you need to know the current package builders. It's a subset of
branches and abis, but since it's just the packages this should give you a
matrix after you fetch.
