Yes it doesn't. Tsutsui-san pointed out an advanced usage.

Amd(8) have ${arch} and ${karch} selectors. ${arch} is fetched from
the compile-time HOST_ARCH string (it's now ${MACHINE} string). And
${karch} is fetched from uname(3).

For such purpose, using ${karch} selector soleved the problem.
Or should we also set ${karch} from uname(3)?
