| It doesn't go wrong, we get what is defined in param.h:
| 
| % uname -m
| sparc64
| % uname -p
| sparc
| 
| There are definitions for machine32[] and machine_arch32[] in
| sys/arch/sparc64/sparc64/netbsd32_machdep.c but it isn't built for
| 32 bit kernels as we undefine COMPAT_NETBSD32.
| 
| Would anything break if we had the following in param.h instead ?
| 
| #ifdef __arch64__
| #define _MACHINE        sparc64
| #define MACHINE         "sparc64"
| #define _MACHINE_ARCH   sparc64
| #define MACHINE_ARCH    "sparc64"
| #define MID_MACHINE     MID_SPARC64
| #else
| #define _MACHINE        sparc
| #define MACHINE         "sparc"
| #define _MACHINE_ARCH   sparc
| #define MACHINE_ARCH    "sparc"
| #define MID_MACHINE     MID_SPARC
| #endif
| 

I think that this makes a lot more sense.
