>Description:
When cross-compiling kernels, the fact that the generate Makefile does
not set MACHINE or MACHINE_ARCH screws up some of the `make depend` output,
and also produces wrong behaviour when compiling lib/kern .
This could arguably be deemed a <bsd.mk> local installation error or a
"the person doing the cross compiler is a ninny" error instead of a source
error. However, it would be helpful for the Makefile to point out that
those values are actually used further down the line in other Makefiles.
>How-To-Repeat:
../../../../usr.sbin/config/config GENERIC
note that MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH and NM are not set in the Makefile.
>Fix:
Change config(8) to emit those additional symbols in the generated Makefile.

State-Changed-Why:
* MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH can't be set in a Makefile; they must be set in the
process environment.
* A cross environment should be setting all these values properly. (In the case
of NM, this is now provided by the TOOLDIR overrides in bsd.own.mk.)
