:I'm not talking about header files, but about all other files.  A small excerpt:
     
     The whole point is that the compiler doesn't care about the platform
     at all.  MACHINE is the machine architecture, MACHINE_ARCH is the
     cpu architecture.  That's all the compiler cares about.  Both would
     be i386 (for example), regardless of what the platform is.
