__$MACHINE_ARCH__ is pre-defined by gcc, but __$MACHINE__ is not.

They are identical on sparc but I think __foo__ should be
used to determine MACHINE_ARCH, not MACHINE.
Makefile.sparc should have -Dsparc for MACHINE
like Makefile.alpha and Makefile.i386.

P.S.
On mips, __mips__ is pre-defined so it is not actual MACHINE_ARCH...
Anyway it is for cpu-specific ifdefs.
