 Something like the attached diff should fix this. I didn't even compile 
 test it, though.

 It's probably better to try to arrange the build so MACHINE_ARCH
 contains the right string.

 calling sysctl directly will probably make for compile-time fun on
 Solaris and other legacy platforms.

 So conditionalize it with #ifdef NETBSD_SOURCE / #endif=

 Or maybe fix it right?

 The build inherits MACHINE_ARCH from the environment, which gets it
 from the nbmake wrapper. If it's wrong there, that seems like a bug.

 this has to do with the value exportd by <sys/param.h>, not
 the value set by the build.

 since these binaries are always going to report the same value,
 i suspect that fixing arm/param.h to report the right value
 depending on the compiler options would fix the problem without
 having to patch every program that uses them to use sysctl on
 netbsd...

 As I said on tech-userlevel, it can't be done at the compiler level.
 The alternative is to add CPPFLAGS+= -DMACHINE_ARCH=\"${MACHINE_ARCH}\"
 to the lib Makefile.
 And not have arm params.h #undef it.

 The problem is that some archs with different machine_archs use the
 same toolchain and can't be told apart.

 how so?  can't the header file define MACHINE/MACHINE_ARCH based
 upon the compiler defines?  eg, from sparc64/param.h:

 #ifdef __arch64__
 #define _MACHINE        sparc64
 #define MACHINE         "sparc64"
 #define _MACHINE_ARCH   sparc64
 #define MACHINE_ARCH    "sparc64"
 #define MID_MACHINE     MID_SPARC64
 #else
 #define _MACHINE        sparc
 #define MACHINE         "sparc"
 #define _MACHINE_ARCH   sparc
 #define MACHINE_ARCH    "sparc"
 #define MID_MACHINE     MID_SPARC
 #endif

 For evbearm & evbearmv5, there is nothing to distinguish them.

 so there's no way to application code to know what sort of
 compilation environment is available?

 that seems like a bug to me.

 external/bsd/pkg_install/sbin/pkg_add/Makefile has

    CPPFLAGS+=      -DMACHINE_ARCH=\"${MACHINE_ARCH}\"

 and it seems to me that overriding this is a bug.

 Alright, after a long time of debugging it seems the situation is as
 follows:

 * The pkg_install Makefile adds -DMACHINE_ARCH=\"${MACHINE_ARCH}\" to the
   CC flags, where MACHINE_ARCH is the right value of earmhf.

 * the pkg_add code pulls in param.h which undefs MACHINE_ARCH and
   replaces it by "earm".

 Also I don't understand why MACHINE_ARCH is set to several different
 values depending on _KERNEL. Can someone please explain this to me?

 Also port-arm/48267 is a duplicate of port-arm/48215, so please close
 it. Sorry about that.
