but how does the machine abi differ from the cpu arch?  i mean, which headers 
go to machine instead of cpu?

                        BUILD_PLATFORM  pc32    platform build

so it seems i can't convice you to use "i386" for the platform?  the problem is 
that there are a myriad place in the source tree which check for i386, or worse, use i386 
as a part of the path.  repo-moving all of this to pc32 seems totally unnecessary and 
wrong.  just have a look at usr.sbin or how man handles the pathnames.  this renaming is 
a pain in the ass once you look outside the kernel.
