My question is how to set TGTARCH and TGTABI, that is not documented; I looked at the web sites.

Would TGTARCH be i386 or amd64, if I want to build for those platforms?

What about TGTABI?  I don't know the proper code words, would want to compile for Linux and possibly NetBSD.

Maybe I need to "make fetch" followed by "make extract" and look inside?
