oops, you're prefectly right. i skipped the "(native)" when reading the
original mail. anyway, wine needs to be patched then, since hw.machine
gives the platform which is "i386" in case of x86, correct? btw, is this
intended behaviour? i thought hw.machine_arch would be for that purpose.

hw.machine_arch is set up in kern/kern_mib.c to "i386" on pc hardware
hw.machine is set up in i386/i386/identcpu.c to "i386" anytime (on
4.3-stable, my currently active stable source i have immediate access
to) wouldn't it make sense to set the SYSCTL_STRING on hw.machine to a
gcc compatible (-mcpu or -march) value? this would make us happier in
the future when gcc does not generate broken code in several scenarios
anymore. does this make sense?
