It's a lazy Sunday afternoon, and I am finally thinking of doing the
2.2.8-STABLE to 3.2-STABLE upgrade.
I have upgraded within a major release several times (a number of
2.2.7 to 2.2.8 and 3.1 to 3.2 systems), but never done the a.out to
ELF thing before. However, I really do not think this has anything to
do with my problem.
I _just_ sucked down 3.2 using cvsup, went into /usr/src, and after
reading /usr/src/Makefile about 50 times, finally typed,
# make aout-to-elf-build
And things flew right on by in the window, until:

[cut many, many successful 'rm -f' lines]

Looking up what is failing in each of these 'Makefile.inc's, I find a
line like the following (from '/usr/src/lib/gen/Makefile.inc') in
each,
# machine-dependent gen sources
.include "${.CURDIR}/../libc/${MACHINE_ARCH}/gen/Makefile.inc"
Somehow the variable MACHINE_ARCH is getting set to 'unknown.'
However, the only place I can find MACHINE_ARCH being set is in
/usr/src/share/mk/sys.mk, and it is always set to 'i386'. I cannot
locate where it might be set 'unknown' or why this is happening; it's
never happened to me before.
Thanks for any help... Oh, yeah, and still looking for a good 'How To'
for the 2.2.8 to 3.x upgrade so I get it all done with the least
amount of headaches.
Thanks again.
