Sure, sounds good. Actually, with mjacob's suggestion, I would go with
sys/${MACHINE}/compile/FOO

I would tackle the sys/arch bikeshed on its own merits for now. (BTW, I favor
sys/arch FWIW). If we use the path I proposed above (sys/MACHINE/compile/FOO)
then if we do a sys/MACHINE -> sys/arch/MACHINE move we get the compile
directory move for free.
