Not always, only if it is not already defined, but that's probably what
you meant.

I've seen a bit of stuff related to this recently on one of the FreeBSD
lists I read, though I've never been bitten by it so didn't pay much
attention. All I can think is that maybe MACHINE_ARCH is set to "unknown"
in your environment for one reason or another? Have you tried
# MACHINE_ARCH=$(uname -m) make aout-to-elf-build
?
