I don't see how changing CPUTYPE in /etc/make.conf can make any
difference for make release.  As far as I can tell, /etc/make.conf
is ignored for make release.  That would make sense, since most of
it takes place in a chroot environment from which /etc isn't even
visible.  I have CPUTYPE=ev56 in my /etc/make.conf, and I ran a
make release a day or two ago.  Mine also died because it wouldn't
fit.  Grepping the log of the whole thing, I find that -mcpu=ev56
essentially doesn't appear anywhere.  What I do see is a lot of
-mcpu=ev4.

In my experience ev56 generates smaller code, because it takes
advantage of the byte load/store instructions.
