Do we have a CPUTYPE=native and/or generic stability problem?

Not sure if your hitting the same bug, that was found in PR 112997.

When you set CPUTYPE?=native, bsd.cpu.mk doesn't set MACHINE_CPU to
the correct values for your CPUTYPE.

See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=conf/112997 for a patch
to bsd.cpu.mk.

Does your system compile correctly, if you specify the CPUTYPE?
