There is lots of behavior in bootstrap that just does string matching on the target name to partially alter its behavior. A lot of the time, this information could've been determined by looking at a particular target option (from rustc --print=target-spec-json).

Bootstrap: change logic for choosing linker and rpath

This is a follow-up from #66957 and #67023. Apparently there was one more location with a hard-coded list of targets to influence linking.

I've filed #67171 to track this madness.
