If we seem to employ some naming transition rule based on TARGET_ARCH and
TARGET, why not simply check just for pc98 as I suggested earlier, and
return TARGET in this case, and TARGET_ARCH otherwise?

Generalizing, perhaps this rule can be extended to the list of
TARGET/TARGET_ARCH combos for which we return TARGET, and TARGET_ARCH for
the rest?

(This is for ISO file names; for release directory structure John's
suggestion looks reasonable.)
