It shouldn't be that case. MACHINE/MACHINE_ARCH are things which don't need
exposing to userland at all. If something in userland needs them use
sysctl/uname(3) to get them.

This should line up w. how other shared archs do things (ala m68k, powerpc,
mips, etc) and none of them override MACHINE to some generic setting.
