Yes. "Why do other ports boot blocks' makefiles symlink 'machine' to
their include dir, and make a symlink for their arch include dir as
well?" 8-)
because the kernel's header file layout isn't the same as user-land's
header file layout.
someone should probably think about that one day, if there's going to
be a great movement of header files to make MACHINE vs. MACHINE_ARCH
better. 8-)
