They need to be. Among them is libnbcompat, which will be linked 
together with other 64-bit ABI programs later. If it wouldn't be needed, 
bootstrapping wouldn't have failed for me and I would not have written 
this at all.

And during the build of bmake, I got an error that the setenv() function 
from libnbcompat/setenv.c, which has been compiled with 64-bit ABI 
wouldn't fit into a 32-bit ABI binary (bmake).

Since directly setting the flags was the way it was documented before, I 
thought that would be the preferred way, too.
