This is a 1.3.2 / 1.3.3 difference.  Does anyone still consider it a bug?
(i.e., worthy of a send-pr)  I only discovered it because I have a couple
of machines running 1.3.2 at home.

On 1.3.3, /usr/share/mk/bsd.own.mk is:

       $NetBSD: bsd.own.mk,v 1.54.2.4 1998/11/07 01:12:25 cgd Exp $

and on 1.3.2, it's:

       $NetBSD: bsd.own.mk,v 1.54.2.3 1998/02/07 00:32:36 mellon Exp $


The difference is that 1.54.2.4 has the GNU_MACHINE_ARCH mappings in it.
Until recently, pkgsrc had a makefile with these mappings.
