A quick look at all "arch" strings in my bootstrap log on OpenbBSD 6.6:

===> running: (cd /home/oc/cvs/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work/bmake && /bin/sh 
configure  --prefix=/home/oc/cvs/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work 
--with-default-sys-path=/home/oc/cvs/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work/share/mk 
--with-machine-arch=x86_64 )

[..]

checking for MACHINE & MACHINE_ARCH...
defaults: MACHINE=amd64, MACHINE_ARCH=amd64
Using: MACHINE=amd64, MACHINE_ARCH=x86_64

[...]

Is this what it should be?

Then it appears bmake is broken:

oc@OpenBSD:~/cvs/pkgsrc/bootstrap$ /usr/pkg/bin/bmake show-var 
VARNAME=MACHINE
malloc() warning: unknown char in MALLOC_OPTIONS
bmake: don't know how to make show-var. Stop

bmake: stopped in /home/oc/cvs/pkgsrc/bootstrap

Maybe just me? This was reported here:
https://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2017/04/12/msg024700.html

Then, in the pkgsrc guide:
http://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc/doc/pkgsrc.html#plist.misc

"PLIST will be preprocessed before actually used, and the symbol 
???${MACHINE_ARCH}??? will be replaced by what uname -p gives."

NetBSD:

oc@NetBSD:/home/oc$ uname -p
x86_64

OpenBSD:

oc@OpenBSD:~$ uname -p
amd64


Is this what causes the problem, or am I looking in the wrong place?
