The convention sort of varies based on OS ... NetBSD platforms use e.g.
alphanbsd-tdep.c vs. the Linux alpha-linux-tdep.c. .mt and .mh files
for NetBSD in the processor-specific directory are usually just called
e.g. alpha/nbsd.mh.

So, for your configurations, select whatever convention suits you. But
be prepared for other OS config conventions to creep into the mix at
some point :-)
