hey,

in the process in fixing gcc41 compilation and more, i hit this stupid machine/platform 
naming thing *again*.  this is getting bothersome.  where is the point in artificially 
introducing a name which is not used *anywhere* else?  i am not arguing against the 
logical separation between platform and machine (arch), but why wouldn't we use the 
default name for the default platform?  for one, i am absolutely opposing the creation of 
a platform "pc64".  this will be amd64.  this whole thing gets really 
complicated when cross-compiling, by the way.  oh, yes, cross compilation was broken 
again.  why do i even bother every once in a while making at least world cross compile 
when it gets broken again?  is it really so hard to at least try to keep the status quo 
wrt existing code?  in any case, i do not want to do a make buildworld TARGET_ARCH=amd64 
TARGET=pc64.  this will not happen, that's absolutely ridiculous.  oh yea, a theoretical 
cross-build from amd64 to i386 would need TARGET_
ARCH=i386 TARGET=pc32.  come on.  this needs to be reverted after the release.
