Well yes, but then the sources are generally placed in a
machine-independent directory. Or in some cases in a directory which is
meant for some subset of machines (with m68k or ppc I think).

What we have here is that a non-pmax file is incuding a pmax-only file.
This looks like a mistake to me.  I think this include file (and the
others I did not mention) should be moved to a more appropriate
location, and that that location is included in both the ksrc-pmax and
the ksrc-alpha sup set.

If that is not feasable for some reason, at the very least these pmax
files should be added to the ksrc-alpha sup set.

But some shared directory seems necessary anyway; a friend is getting a
DEC 5400 and apparently that's mostly a VAX but with a MIPS processor,
so if his project of getting NetBSD working on it ever gets off the
ground, a lot of code sharing should be possible.
