This is a good change. Thanks for making it.

I'm wondering, should the /sys/conf/Makefile.${MACHINE} files be 
changed to hard code the machine? It currently has:

    M = ${MACHINE_ARCH}

but now, we know we are compiling for a given machine architecture so 
this could be hard coded. In some ways, you might also want to switch 
this around with (for instance):

M = powerpc
MACHINE_ARCH = ${M}

In other words, you know you're building a powerpc kernel, make sure 
you pull in the correct include files and CFLAGS from <bsd.kern.mk>.

This helps for cross compilation of the kernel.

Mark
