I did not know about that change and was still using "MACHINE=i386 ; UNAME_p=i386 ; UNAME_m=i386" on my 8.2-RC3 laptop, on which I just verified it not to be necessary anymore (and sysutils/cdrtools to build). Since I got about 1200 ports building the old way on 8.1-RELEASE, I thought the unconditional hack in sysutils/cdrtools hindering me could be wrong, but with the situation really fixed in 8.2, it will not affect me anymore as I am going to upgrade my 8.1 package building machine pretty soon.
