Actually, CPUTYPE=native is simply not supported.  Just specify one of
the supported types that matches your CPU most closely.

The fix there invokes the compiler and some other tools for each include
of the .mk file, which is usually too much overhead.  Also, from the
compiler output it is not very easy to get the list of supported features.

I would rather fix bsd.cpu.mk to explicitly reject any non-recognized
CPUTYPE value.
