In the FPC crosbuild and  installation scripts there are some conversions
for this, e.g.

 # conversion from long to short archname for ppc<x>
  case $FPCTARGET in
    m68k*)
      PPCSUFFIX=68k;;
    sparc*)
      PPCSUFFIX=sparc;;
    i386*)
      PPCSUFFIX=386;;
    powerpc*)
      PPCSUFFIX=ppc;;
    arm*)
      PPCSUFFIX=arm;;
    x86_64*)
      PPCSUFFIX=x64;;
    mips*)
      PPCSUFFIX=mips;;
    ia64*)
      PPCSUFFIX=ia64;;
    alpha*)
      PPCSUFFIX=alpha;;
  esac
