I agree: it's easier if the less common case uses the letter and
the common case uses a blank.

I'm not sure of the best way to cooperate with
simtest-howto.html.  One way is that assuming this table goes in
a page by itself, the table from simtest-howto.html could be
removed, leaving just the checkout and build-instructions.  It
would need to be referenced from the new page, but then the new
page would also have to provide build-triplet and simulator
config name for each target.  Actually in some cases it'd have
to be a *couple* of targets for each arch, for example mips-elf
and mipsisa64-elf (is there a sparc64 simulator?).  That would
probably bloat the new page.

Alternatively, we could leave simtest-howto.html mostly as is
but remove some of the trivial arch-related comments and add
references from simtest-howto.html to the new page for the
removed arch info.  The new page would reference
simtest-howto.html for arches with targets that have simulator
build instructions.  (Ah, this one gets my vote.)
