in bootstrap/bootsrap

Following your advice I started looking at devel/bmake, I added a
--with-machine_arch to the Makefile & edited files/os.sh and
machine.sh.

It definitely appears that bmake tramples on anything that would've
been set in bootstrap if bmake already has things related to the OS
it's being built on.

I've yet to resolve the issue but I shall persist.
