how so?  can't the header file define MACHINE/MACHINE_ARCH based
upon the compiler defines?  eg, from sparc64/param.h:

#ifdef __arch64__
#define _MACHINE        sparc64
#define MACHINE         "sparc64"
#define _MACHINE_ARCH   sparc64
#define MACHINE_ARCH    "sparc64"
#define MID_MACHINE     MID_SPARC64
#else
#define _MACHINE        sparc
#define MACHINE         "sparc"
#define _MACHINE_ARCH   sparc
#define MACHINE_ARCH    "sparc"
#define MID_MACHINE     MID_SPARC
#endif
