Sorry, I'm not sure - I made i386 floppies with source of 7 May with no
problems.. Just some musings:
- Sure enough at the bottom of src/sys/lib/libsa/loadfile.h, there is
  a #include "machine/loadfile_machdep.h"
- src/sys/arch/i386/include/loadfile_machdep.h is where it lives
- src/sys/arch/i386/include/Makefile doesn't include it in the includes: target
  so it isn't installed

After all that, I wonder why isn't it broken for me too?

cf eg kernel-ramdisk/Makefile
