MACHINE is just the kernel interface, might be only mildly useful to =
pkgng.
MACHINE_ARCH is useful since it uniquely defines the ABI we're using, by =
definition.
MACHINE_CPUARCH can be derived from MACHINE_ARCH and isn't actually =
useful to pkgng at all. It is a build-time value to select which files =
from our tree to build with.
