Look at what was done for svr4 and svr4_32.... We need to create freebsd_32
and add the freebsd_*.c files in arch/x86_64/x86_64

error building vlc

Hi,

I don't know if this is amd64 specific, but when building vlc I get this 
error:

Any idea what this may be?

PR/35302: Wrong Intel CPUs features display

Hi,

I was asked, offline, if i can commit my changes to fix Intel CPUs
features display (PR/35302).

Here is an updated version for -current, as the one in the PR does not
apply cleanly anymore.

Any objection ?

No.  Looks just fine to commit.

The only problem is that it changes amd64 and not i386 too.

IMHO we should move this function into x86.

so I just commited this (with some minor changes thanks to Alan Barrett's
comments). The iso should be bootable on:
alpha, amd64, cats, i386, pmax, sgimips, sparc, sparc64, sun3, vax.
You can find an iso for these ports (exept cats which doesn't build at all
right now), built using build.sh iso-image with the new infrastructure.
It would be great if each of these could be tested at last once.
I tested amd64, i386, alpha and sparc64 myself.

Re: PR/35302: Wrong Intel CPUs features display

Also missing (I'm pretty sure my processor has this, anyway) is the
SSE3 flag, which quite a few processors have now.  devel/cpuflags
would work nicely with machdep.sse3, also.

i386 does not have the problem; it support Intel CPUs for quite a long
time, and display correct CPUs features.

I'm not sure for the whole function, but indeed some parts could be
shared.

Hmm, ok not Intel CPUs, but AMD CPUs are still displayed differently on i386:

cpu0: AMD Dual-Core Opteron or Athlon 64 X2 (686-class)

I can't talk about this function because I know to few about it, but
IMHO all parts which would work on i386 and amd64 should be shared.

Ok, but that's another story. For now, i'm just fixing incorrect
display on amd64 port for some CPUs.

I had a look; and in this area, cpu_info structures are currently too
different to share some code. But this can change ...

amd64:
        u_int32_t       ci_feature_flags;
