: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.

The location of the header files is synthesized in /usr/include when the
world/kernel is installed. It has little to do with how they are
arranged in the source tree.
