The druntime build uses MODEL in all of its command lines. However, when generating headers it does not generate them in MODEL-dependent directories.

I checked and the generated headers are identical regardless of MODEL. Should we assume that at least in the future the generated imports may depend on MODEL? If so, we need to generate them in MODEL-dependent directories. Otherwise, we shouldn't pass MODEL in the respective command line.

My KISS sense tells me that if there is no need to distinguish between MODELs now, just remove the MODEL from the command line and leave it MODEL-independent. Besides avoiding adding complexity that we might not need, it will make us think if is there is something wrong in the future if we need to make that distinction.
