I wholeheartedly agree with you on that David, however in this specific
case I just have to wonder if we should protect the users against
themselves and us from the users.  Yes, I know, I should've known
better, but what's the use in having CPUTYPE in make.conf if we _known_
it will create binaries which cause strange problems to creep up?  Might
as well just yank it and be done with the headache.

Opinions on this?  Matt?

That is, until I get the compiler done... *whistles*
