[Fwd: Re: [head tinderbox] failure on amd64/amd64]

The following is the end result of a small conversation i had with Sam
Leffler regarding the recent ath_hal commit breaking buildkernel on
amd64 ... i figured i should probably send the lists about this until a
fix gets committed.

I had a closer look at the warnings .. and i have at least figured out
what's causing the error.

The build is complaining it doesn't know how to make the
file /usr/src/sys/modules/ath_hal/../../contrib/dev/ath/
public/amd64-elf.opt_ah.h

Upon closer inspection this file indeed doesn't exist .. but
x86_64-elf.opt_ah.h does, it looks like somewhere the translation from
amd64 to x86_64 doesn't take place properly.

At this point i decided to take a closer look at
the /usr/src/sys/modules/ath_hal/Makefile

As it turns out .. the addition of the line to unbreak the Sparc64
build, results in breaking the translation for AMD64.

ATH_MODULE_ARCH=${MACHINE_ARCH:S/amd64/x86_64/}
ATH_MODULE_ARCH=${MACHINE_ARCH:S/sparc64/sparc64-be/}

if i comment the sparc64 entry, make -V ATH_MODULE_ARCH properly returns
x86_64 .. if i leave it uncommented make -V ATH_MODULE_ARCH returns
amd64 again.

I would assume the proper solution here to be to set the ATH_MODULE_ARCH
variable conditionally based on MACHINE_ARCH instead of two consecutive
definitions as is currently the case. Please correct me if i am wrong ?
