Thanks, Larry.

I have the following in the kernel config:
machine         amd64
cpu             HAMMER

Build kernel still sees this:
--------------------------------------------------------------
>>>stage 3.1: making dependencies
--------------------------------------------------------------
cd /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/AMDKERNEL;  MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj  
MACHINE_ARCH=i386  MACHINE=i386  CPUTYPE=athlon-mp
