>Description:
Building packages under Linux with glibc, I notice that some packages,
like www/navigator, graphics/ns-flash, and others have checks like:
if (${MACHINE_ARCH} == "i386")
But I have:
$ bmake show-var VARNAME=OPSYS
Linux
$ bmake show-var VARNAME=MACHINE_ARCH
i686
$ bmake show-var VARNAME=LOWER_ARCH
i386
$ uname -p
unknown
$ uname -m
i686
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
I just don't know where the LOWER_ARCH and MACHINE_ARCH are set.
I think the fix is to use
sed -e 's/[456]86/386/'
