    :
    : There's on old thread in the -current archives about dealing with
    : mips and variations of an architecture (in the same sense that pc98
    : is a variation of i386). It would be cool to have that nailed down
    : and have a config(8) that groks it. If you're working on config,
    : maybe you can solve that problem too? :-)

    i386 is very special in that it has so few variants (pc98, sequent and
    roadrunner are the only ones I know, and outside of japan, all are
    rare). mips has boatloads, as does power pc, arm and sh[345]. alpha,
    amd64, sparc, sparc64 are very regular beasts in comparison.

    Also, it is more than a config issue. There will need to be some
    kernel source changes too. About 1/4 of the pc98 ifdefs could go away
    if the MACHINE/MACHINE_ARCH split were done more correctly for i386.
